bought a new set of drivers for my CRS and I noticed that speaker terminals does not have the + and - signs. Where do I put the positive wires? Should I just follow the terminals on the old drivers? Thanks a lot .

    no sign on the connectors. old drivers had a red dot beside the connector for the positive.

    Hook them up the same way as the originals.

    Anthony, all the SDA mid drivers have the same size terminal pins.

    if you have not figured this out yet you can take a 9volt battery and touch the 2 terminals if the speaker extends out this is the correct way to wire the (+) and (-) if the speaker sucks in this is backwards

    the battery will not hurt the speaker., you can do this tweeters too but use a smaller battery and it is tougher to see

    DO NOT TAKE A NINE VOLT BATTERY TO THE TERMINALS.

    If you want to use the battery method, AA or AAA (1.2v).
