You don't have a + and - because sound is a wave, not a DC signal. It alternates up and down from 0.

You can't wire them up backwards. Swapping the wires over just turns the signal upside down, which makes no real difference. That's why there's no instructions for which wire goes where.

:lol:

There is a "positive" and "negative" wire and if one or more speakers are wired up incorrectly they will be out of phase and it will sound sh!t.

You will be able to find out which is which from the Haynes.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

Ok, standard wiring diagram here http://members.lycos.nl/sjakie198/Haynes_Fiesta_MK3_Manual/1595-12.pdf

May not help if it's an aftermarket head unit though. This may be better for that sort of thing http://www.fiestaguides.co.uk/content/ford_to_iso.html
