Take a battery and some scrap wire, run the positive end of the battery to one terminal and the negative to another. If the cone moves out, its wired correctly and if it moves in its wired incorrectly, so then by process of elimination figure out which is positive and which is negative.

If you are looking at the wire not the speaker, usually the negative wire in a automotive audio wiring harness has a black stripe.

Other than looking at the wiring diagram this is the easiest way.

This is ONLY correct in AFTERMARKET wiring, not in factory wiring. NEVER assume a original wire is negative because it has a black stripe.
