If you're referring to the rear speaker wires, the brown one is the negative. There will be one on each rear speaker.

Where do you intend to splice the wires for a high level link? If you do it from the bunch of wires behind the side bolster of the rear seat, you will find that blue/brown wires running along the main bunch. Those are the speaker wires.

If you have a factory amp in the boot (BMW Hi-Fi, HK and factory Nav unit) you will see 2 stacks of blue/brown wires (one from the front speakers). You will need a volt metre to test out which stack is which.

I just splice them directly to the wires under the rear speakers for high level feed and hide the wires behind the trunk carpet. Easier that way.
