Default Need help identifing sail panel speaker wires

I have a 93 formula and a 95 trans am and I'm upgrading the sail panel speakers. I need to know positive and negative for the new speakers. Both cars have wires on both sides of the sail panel 6.5 speakers with blue and green wires. Thanks

I don't know/remember, but can't you just check what they went to on the old speakers?

That's the first thing I checked and I couldn't tell. There is no + or - anywhere, it says A and B. I figured replacing sail panel speakers is really common so it would be an easy answer.

Use a test light or if I remember right, all of the speaker wires are coded to color, ex. instead of black(-) red(+), brown(-) light green(+), dark green (-) orange(+)...

That is the Monsoon color code listing... 93 and 95 Firebirds didn't have Monsoon systems (it wasn't available until 97).

If this is a base audio system (4 speakers), the sail panels use brown (+) and yellow (-) on the left side and dark blue (+) and light blue (-) on the right side. Unfortunately, I don't have the schematic with me for the premium audio system (10 speakers). I can get it tonight if nobody else comes up with it before then.

It's blue and green on both sides of the sail panels. Im just going to guess that blue is + and green is -.
