Speaker wiring

This weekend I plan on replacing the factory speakers in my 1998 ML320. With the factory wiring, does anyone know which wire is the positive and which is the negative? Thanks.

Front Speakers = 6 ½
Rear Speakers = 5 ¼

may I ask what speakers are you putting in? I find my ML320 stock speakers are very good .. . sorry I don't have the wiring diagrams for the speaker.. but I believe they work both ways.
are you going to remove the door panels? can you write some diy instructions for us? thanks!

stereo install & door panels

These two links from Ken Yee's site are very helpful for installing the stereo.

This link is for how to remove door panel:

Good instruction for the stereo install

Positive and negative terminals ought to be written on the speaker terminals when you remove the wire. Just look before you take off the 2 wires.

Typically, the positive lead will have a white stripe on the insulation. The positive terminal on the speaker will have a red or white "dot" painted near it.

I haven't pulled the speakers out yet, but for ease, some manufacturers make the positive terminal spades larger than the negative ones..makes for a "no-fuss" install.
