Definitive Answer to Speaker Line Polarity

I have the Non-bose system. I'm looking for the definitive answer to what colors are what polarity for the Front and Rear speakers. I've gone through threads, and some people list one thing, others correct them, then there are arguments. I followed what is in Mazda's manual, but the sound didn't sound deep enough, I randomly switched the polarity on one pair and bass improved. So, what I'm looking for is a short but sweet answer from one of you experts out there on which color is which polarity at all four speaker locations. Thanks!

Thanks for the help! Could you clear up the Door Right designations...extremely ambigous.
