isn't it the one with the black stripe. but any ways i don't think it matters if you wire it some other way. it still works unless ur wiring it parallel with an amplifier then u shud follow the neg and positive properly.

the factory speaker wire harness does not have a black stripe. it's the aftermarket wires that come with the speakers that have a stripe on it typically to designate each wire as positive or negative.
if you look at the harness for the left rear of the car, isn't green and green with a black strip like the aftermarket wiring harnesses (be it on the deck harness or the harness adaptor). just look at the wires closely and the negative wire has a brown strip on it.
it does matter, because if you're not consistent, the speakers will be out of phase and you'll loose bass. if they were fronts, imaging would suck.
