If you are using a single speaker, it doesn't matter which wire goes to which terminal on the speaker.

I second Mark... As a former DJ, and all around audiophile, I agree, and assure you that in a single channel, single speaker system, polarity and phase is no issue!! Now, with the newer "stereo" decoders, with multiple speakers, you will lose all of what little bass you have, if the TWO speakers are not correctly phased to each other! You'll be fine!!  |

Just as a note here - through a lot of experimenting, I've found that two round speakers give much better sound than a single rectangular one. For example, two 16mm round speakers will give better sound reproduction than a single 16mm X 32mm in the same given space.
Rectangular speakers aren't the best cone design for a speaker. The cone is tighter to the frame on the sides than it is to the ends. This uneven cone tension doesn't reproduce as well as a round speaker with even cone tension all around its perimeter.
Just some food for thought ....
Mark.

He's absolutely right! That does, out you right back to getting the polarity correct on both, or goodbye bass!!! The simple way - hook them up. If they sound really tinny, reverse the wires on ONE speaker.... Does it sound better? Good! You're done!  |
