Speaker wire color?
I have a C6 and changed out the rear speakers but I am not sure which colors are the ground and positive? I assume like usual the darker color of the two wires is the ground right?

Do you know the positive and negative for the center?
I have to reverse the wiring for the rears know since I thought the darker color would be the negative since black is darker than red. No wonder they did not soud as loud as stock. I have the base C6 non bose.

The center channel is what I would assume it would be since Light blue -/ Yellow +, why are the two rears reversed? dark blue, brown +? Light blue, yellow - ? When positive is universally red and negative black.
