    do the wire/connectors size match the tweets,,IIRC one is a narrow fitting/blade and the other is wider,,I'm thinking that the wide blade is positive,,but don't hold me to it,,have you tried the search function? Good luck.Let us know.

    No hits from searching.

    One terminal on the tweeter is colored red.
    Negative?

    Red is positive.

    Usually when there's one smaller terminal, it is positive.

    Both terminals are the same size on the RD0-198.

    No. The RD0198 has a small and a large terminal, like the SL3000 it replaces.

    The RD0194 terminals are the same size, like the SL2000 it replaces.

    The differences in terminal size are the only visual differences between the RD0194 and RD0198.
