Hey,
Gonna use the standard speaker wiring for my front speakers for the moment, there is a yellow and red wire and a yellow and brown wire.
Would i be correct to assume the one with red is + and the one with brown is -?
Thanks

Thats your power leads - dont touch them!
The audio ones are on the second ISO plug so dont touch the red, yellow or brown!!

No dude, you're at the wrong end lol.
Im talking about the two wires which go into the speaker in the door lol, not the ones at the back of the headunit. Ive already got them connected with an iso adapter.
Inside the door there are two wires, going into a plug, which is then plugged into the standard speaker. Obviously aftermarket speakers dont need a plug so i cut the plug off and i now have a yellow/red and a yellow/brown wire inside my door to be connected to my new speaker. Logic would say that the red one is + and the brown - but i want to make sure.
