Does it matter if the neg and positive speaker terminals are switched Both ways seem to work?

Reversing the polarity of the speakers will cause them to run "out of phase" meaning that the speaker will be pulling. It might not be noticable to some people but it can really bother others.

Which is better to use for positive on speaker wire silver or copper?
It doesn't matter both wires are made of copper. The only difference in colour is to keep the polarity the same throughout the system. Pick which colour you want to make positive and use it on all of the positive terminals.
Which speaker wire is positive white stripe?
It actually does not matter as long as you are consistent. Most people choose to use the white stripe as positive, but it is definately not a rule.
What are the colors for positive and negative on the speakers of a 1995 Cavalier?
The voltage in speaker wire is too small to cause harm. Plug the two wires in. If the speakers work the wires are correct. If the speaker doesn't work try them the other way. ANSWER voltage does not cause harm no matter how high. amperage is what causes harm. speakers will work like a light bulb either way. positive to negative or negative to positive. with sub-woofer you can tell if it is right, the sub should pull inward on deep base . I believe cavalier rear speakers are hooked in series positive in one speaker, negative of that speaker to positive of the other speaker, and neg of that speaker back to stereo
What determines which one of the terminal of a rheostat in positive when connected in a series?
Electron flow is from negative(-) to positive(+), the rheostat would have to be on the negative side for the device being controled, before the device, e.g. light bulb.AnswerIt doesn't matter. Rheostats don't have positive or negative terminals.
Back speakers are dead in a 95 sunfire how do you tell if it is a short in a wire or bad speakers?
Items required----9 volt battery, or really anything bigger than a AAA battery, speaker wire(couple of feet at the most) First, unplug the speaker terminal from the back of the speaker. Cut the ends of your speaker wire so that you have exposed wire(2 1 ft pieces of wire) on both ends. Wrap bare wire around speaker terminals, both positive and negative sides(doesn't matter which is which), making sure the wires will not fall off. Now take your battery, and touch one wire to the positive side of the battery and one to the negative side(again, it doesnt matter which wire goes where). If you hold the negative side and brush the positive side, or vice versa, you should get some crackling noise out of your speaker. If you don't, the voice coil in your speaker is fried and you need a new one. Hope this helps!!! oh yeah, connect the wire to the terminals on the speaker, not the wiring harness. Pretty simple to figure out, but wanted to clarify. ==Because...== BOTH speakers are dead, I would suggest also checking the fader control on the radio, just to make sure you aren't faded all the way to the front. It that is the case, you could test and replace speakers 'till the cows come home but still wouldn't hear a thing.
White matter consists of areas that are dominated by what axons?
Terminals
How do you hook up speaker wire to a speaker?
Each speaker needs to be connected using two wires. One wire is "grounded" and the other carries the alternating sound signal. This question is very simple to ask but is much more complicated to answer because you don't say anything about the kinds of terminals there are on the speaker or the amplifier! On the speaker are there threaded posts with thumb nuts? Or clip-on-wire connectors? Or some other system? On the amplifier what type of speaker output terminals are there: are they screw-down types which need a loop of wire under a washer? Or sockets for phono plugs? Or some other system? There are so many possible wire/terminal combinations it doesn't make sense to write a long essay on all the possible hook-ups you could use. If you cannot work it out from the User Guides that came with the speaker or the amplifier then it is best either to ask a friend who knows about speakers to show you what to do, or ask someone at any store that sells hi-fi systems.
Which speaker wires are positive and which are negative the wiring diagram does not show for a 1997 Ford F-250?
It doesn't really matter which colour you use for positive as long as you use the same colour for every speaker.If not your speakers will be out of phase.
How do you identify terminals in capacitor?
A: If its polarized it will have a bar running along side of the body, A grade capacitor will either have stamped a -+ on it terminal and occasionally a red and black paint dot red is positive. If there is none of these marking then it is not polarized and does not matter how it is connected
Is the white stripe on Home theater speaker wire positive or negative?
Black with white stripe = Positive. I tested this with a AC to DC wall plug. ________________________ It really doesn't matter if you connecting the wire yourself. As long as you define one as positive and the other as negative and keep that same definition throughout the system, it will work.
Is white speaker wire just as good as black speaker wire?
The color of speaker wire doesn't matter, it's what it's made of. Also, expensive speaker wire is a rip off. You should just buy cheap speaker wires and that's good.
What does red mean positive or negative?
normally the lightest color is the positive but that doesnt matter because i had stuff in which the black cable is the positive...
