When I wired my HT I made sure that I always used the side of the wire with the writing on it to the negative terminal. Well I recently switched out speakers and realized one of my back surrounds...doh...I couldn't read teh writing and I forgot which one was positive and negative. I played music with it connected both ways and still couldn't tell. :? :loser:
Well I just was told this little trick. Grab a nine volt battery and at your amp/receiver end connect one wire to the positive and then touch the other wire to the negative end on the batter and if you see the speaker drivers pop "up" a little then your speaker in "in phase" if they "suck in or down" then your speaker is out of phase and you need to switch your wires!
I thought that was the coolest trick...and thought I'd pass it along!
