NOTE: While most speaker
manufacturers adhere to an industry
convention of using black terminals for
negative and red ones for positive, some
manufacturers may vary from this
configuration. To assure proper phase,
and optimal performance, consult the
identification plate on your speaker, or
the speaker’s manual to verify polarity. If
you do not know the polarity of your
speaker, ask your dealer for advice before
proceeding, or consult the speaker’s
manufacturer.
