One speaker wire is clear and one has a white thread going through it. Does one mean positive and the other negative?

You could technically make either positive or negative. Just dont mix them up. If youre asking a question like this you might want to have your home theater system professionally installed. Personally I use the white line as the power positive red....black is clear ground.Good luck

The single important thing is that you wire both speakers identically. If you use the wire with a white stripe on the red terminal of the speaker and receiver on one side, do the exact same thing on the other side so that you don't have your speakers out of phase. That will cause you to have muddied sound because the speakers will be fighting each other.

IT just made it that way so you can choose your positive and negative sensibly. if you choose the white thread as positive on one end. make sure you do that to the other end too. Hope this makes sense.

It's for you to know how you wire your system. It's doesn't matter which one you use for positive or negative. I use white to signal I hooked it up to positive.

It's a marker so you can tell which wire is which on both ends. You can use it however you want according to your application. I always use the marked wire as positive, but so long as you use the same wire on both ends, or throughout for the same purpose you will be fine.

You are correct, a wire does connect the two speakers. I have enjoyed these speakers for the past year and they connect well and work great. I actually used speaker wire to extend the distance between the two speakers and they both still sound great.

The Positive lead is clearly marked if you have the one with the rubber MC3 connectors, The Female MC3 (the one with the hole inside if looking at the face of the connector) is the Positive Wire. If you look at the rubber boot it has a + molded into it

If you have both wires try one and the other and see if there is a sound difference. Otherwise Google it.

You will want to check the amplifier settings to correct the issue you are having. The gauge of the wire is a non-factor.

I found 30W marked near the entrance of the plug wire to the right speaker. No markings on the left speaker.

When you splice them the copper colored wire is positive and the silver is negative

Any speaker wire will do, just remember to keep them polarized. (positive to positive, negative to negative). Great speaker system, by the way!

Typically, a non polarized capacitor is supplied or you need to find one and it really does not matter which terminal you connect the capacitor to. For simplicity, you can connect one end of the capacitor to the positive wire from the amp or head unit and the other end of the capacitor to the positive terminal of the tweeter.The positive terminal should either be labeled (+) or marked red. The other speaker wire, which is the negative from the amp or head unit, should be connected directly to the other terminal of the tweeter, which obviously, is the negative terminal. From a technical stand point, it does not matter which terminal or speaker wire is connected to the capacitor since we are dealing with an AC signal. The critical thing is that the polarity of the wires and the speakers, in this case, the tweeters should be matched and maintained. In other words, the positive speaker wire should always be connected to the positive terminal of the tweeter/speakers. If the wires are reversed mistakenly or otherwise, the sounds from the speakers will be out of phase and will tend to cancel each other rather than adding, thus making a less intense sound. One more thing, by all means, try to solder the wires. The RULE is to maintain polarity! Hope I did not confuse you with all that information.

don't understand the question. ??? two wires per speaker one + and one - you need two wires.

There is no positive/negative wire. One end goes into the outlet and the other goes into the device.

there are two subwoofer connections close to the speaker connection: labeled 1&2

It matters how the wires are made.... If the wires are of a ZipCord, then the Ridge Side is Always Negative. The Round / Smooth Side is Always Positive. If the wire is Black and hooked to AC, then the Wire is Positive and White is Negative. If the wires are Red and Black (for DC Purposes), then Red is Always Positive and Black is Always Negative.

The output is a standard Dean's plug. So the slot closest to the white balance plug outlet is the positive lead.

In most cases the red wire is the positive and the other corresponds to the negative pole. You can try in any case the product has a protection system when connected inversely.

Did you ever get an answer or solution for this? I purchased 12 gauge speaker wire but have not installed it yet. I can return it if need be. Thanks!

Hi, not quite sure, my question to you is how old is your speaker wire...what gauge..any green anywhere on those conductors..did you do any splices anywhere even the signal wire for a double sub setup has to be done right double check every input jack for wear at the strain reliefs. Hookup one set at time and test at each add
