Question black and red wires????

hey guys i need some help.
i pulled my door panel to see how the factory speakers are wired and i read the sticky about the monsoon systems and it said that there are 2 sets of colored wires one set for the tweeters and one set for the woofer.
my problem is that both sets of wires are black and red.
i have a factory amp in the spare tire well where it is on a monsoon but my factory head unit and amp say delco.
the door speakers say 2 ohm and my tweeters sound harsh and busted so i am going to swap them with a aftermarket set
what system do i have?
and why are the wires black and red?

thanks guys

You match the red and black wires up with the wire colors on the door harness. That will identify which wires are for the woofer, and which for the tweeter.

Here's a thread on door speaker installs.
