Question about 1.2TL wiring

I was replacing the OEM gaskets with Mortite and noticed something about the wiring of the third from top dimensional driver wiring. All the other drivers had a green wire for negative and a blue for positive, but this one had two blue wires for the positive and one blue and one green wire for the negative. I decided to check the wiring diagrams and it says the positive is blue and has a wire marker on it. However, the wire marker is actually on the blue and green wires where they are crimped and that's the negative side, not positive like the diagram states.

So is this the way it is? I have attached a picture.

Thanks.

    That is wired correctly.

    The green marker is around a blue and a green wire on the negative side and the positive side has two blue wires and no marker. The wiring diagram should have stated that the wire marker is on the green and blue wires on the negative side if the picture I attached is correct. Instead it states that it is around a blue wire on the positive side (which is is clearly not).

    It is wired correctly. I have the same speakers, and went through the same thing a couple years ago..

    I believe it is wired correctly. I trust the replies I got. My issues is that nothing about the way the wires are connected and marked match up with the wiring diagram created by Polk and placed in the forum for download.

    I wonder if any of the 1.2TLs build have wiring matching that in the wiring PDF.

    Thanks for yours and F1's input.

    Just cracked my 1.2TL open to do some drilling for Larry's rings - mine are wired just like yours - opposite in this regard of what the wiring diagram says. It must be a mistake in their documentation.

    Thanks! I find it crazy at times when the schematics and diagrams we rely upon aren't correct. In this instance it wasn't an issue as it wouldn't blow up and this forum can get you all the info you need to get on the right track, but when it's something like a power supply board the diagrams and such need to be correct.

    Tell me about it! I restore a lot of vintage audio equipment and Sansui service manuals in particular are terrible - often times confusing things as important as NPN and PNP. Keeps you on your toes!
