Exclamation Need assistance!! front door soeakers

I have conflicting reports on front door speaker wires on an 06 15oo although I have the left side and right side/according too kicker.com they are reversed.let me explain.
1st , The left side is greenw/blue stipe as neg. and green w/yellow stripe as pos.
2nd the right side has grey with yellow as pos. and grey w/ bluestripe as neg.
now kicker.com has them as green w/blue stripe as pos. and green w/yellow stripe as neg.
I don'thave the right side from kicker. Any authority on this would be appreciative. Or do I need a dealer .
thanks boys...

If your talking about the HU wiring it doesn't matter what speakers are in which door. For the doors, why are you dealing with the wires, there should be a factory wiring harness that simply plugs into a secondary harness that has the positive and negatives running off of it that just plugs into the speakers. I'm confused...

silver I may have too not a bigge but the weather here blows wanted too tackle this with a few wire clamps
now the reason your confused. i'm hookin up twin 10 inch woofers that are not big amp draws. 15watts per speaker so I was gonna splice them in to the fronts seeing as those are 6x9 and get most of the bass feed anywaysI'm not a big womp guy I like a full sound but really only back ground tunes at this point. So thats why.

hmm either way I would get a small amp and use a line out converter to use the factory harness for the subs. Pulling a load for two 10s, even small, is not a good idea

Plug and play for a sub without running a headunit isn't gonna be easy or cheap. Something like the JL cleansweep (i think is what it's called) is a very high quality setup that will run off of your stock headunit.
