L322 2010 >2012 speaker wiring - Solved

Can any of you point me at a diagram or simply tell me which of the speaker wires is + and which is - ?
I've bought some Audison Prima 6.5" and Tweeter components to replace the blown stuff in the front of mine and have a bit of an upgrade while I'm there (and yes, they are the 2 ohm ones). APK165 2Ohm if you're interested to know more.

Anyway, the mid bass are a fairly straightforward swap but I don't know which wire from the factory plug is the positive and of course I don't want them to run out of phase by guessing. I'm not having much luck with searching the web so if anyone knows which is which I'd be most grateful.

Try it and listen, if it sounds out of phase reverse the connections. https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_polaritycheck.php

It doesn't matter which way round so long as they are all the same

I'm only replacing 4 of the speakers though so there's a good chance they won't be the same.

I found another write up that detailed which is which so I'll connect them up and then test them with the website suggest by Roythebus. I found that the other day too so I'm interested to try it out.

if you have music playing, it might sound flat.. or a bit quieter if its the wrong way around.. swap and see which is best

For reference, as I found the detail, here are a couple of pictures to make life easier for others.

Tweeter was pretty easy, the cap is on the + sp that's the Black/Red and of course Black is -

Looking from the front of the woofer, it's the Right hand side that is the Positive +. Both wires have a trace on them so it's not as simple as remembering which colour when your brain is rubbish like mine.


Went for an old school test and watched the woofer excursion on the heavy beat stuff and of course it was obvious if you attempted to swap the wires over.
