A and B on what? Speakers? I haven't kept the factory speakers long enough to find out. You can test the speakers with a 9 volt battery to determine what terminal is the positive terminal, then mark the wires accordingly.

Tap a 9 volt to the terminals. If the speaker cone moves up, the + of the battery is touching the + terminal. If it pulls the cone down, then you've got them reversed.

Sorry, the wiring in the factory plugs for the 6x9 says A on one side, and B on the other. I'm just wondering which is positive, and which is negative?
