Which is the live wire in the front and back speakers as I'm fitting new speakers

Im upgrading my front and rear speakers and have come accross a problem.Which wire at the front for starters is the live feed.Ive snipped the oem plug off but wasnt to sure which is live.The wires at the front a thick red line and a thinner red line running through them.The rears consist of one side having 2 black wires one with a blue stripe and one with a brown stripe.The oppostie side has two yellow wires one with a blue stripe and again one with a brown stripe. Just would like to know which of these in the frot and back goes to the live on my new speakers.

Brown is typically the universal "ground" color for Minis.

Wiring diagrams are in the sticky at the top of the page. R front 6"(I think) speaker is brown and yellow and is the power lead. Be careful
