Default Wow this stumps me

OK guys Im not in this section too often but this is really bugging me and I need some serious help. Im not new to installing stereos in cars so let me explain this and then if someone can answer me then thanx.

Basically, Im installing a head unit in my 93 honda civic DX. Now, if im not mistakin, there should be a total of 12 wires from my car to install to the head unit: 8 are for the 4 speakers, 4 positive and 4 negative, and then the last 4 are for power, ground, ant. and acc. Now for some reason I only have 10 wires. 4 of the 10 are separate from the other 6 so I know these 4 are for the power, ground, ect. The other 6 are speakers, but my front 2 speakers share the same set of wires.

What I mean by this is as follows:
My front left and front right speakers need to be wired thru 2 wires, a positive and negative for each. The wires are gray with a black stripe and blue with a green stripe. The only thing is, both the left and the right speakers have these same wires.

How would I wire up the head unit when both my front speakers share the same 2 wires? Would I just splice the gray and blue wires and connect them to each of the wires off the head unit? Help please....

They dont share the same wires. Use the guide above and take a 1.5v AA battery and tap it to the leads and listen for the little crackling sound.
