Default Wire Colors? Please!

Can anyone with a manual ( or experience ) please tell me the wire colors for the speakers, both front and rear?

I needed to cut off the factory connector and just solder on traditional spade terminals for a new 4-pcs speaker set.
I tried looking at the old speakers, but they were not even labled with (+) or (-), and I have no clue on the rear. Thanks.

I really want to get the + and - correct for best sound. ( in phase )

TIA,
-John ( newbie, but loving it! )

You can buy an adapter connector for Honda from places like Circuit City for just a few bucks. This makes anything you do reversible and a much cleaner installation. Plus, you can make your solder connections outside the car then just plug into the stock connector I think many of the adapter connectors will have the wires labeled as well to help answer your original question.
