Got my new tweeters. Just to make sure does the black wire go to the red terminal and the white to the unmarked terminal?

Thanks,

Jockos

    No, red is positive, black is negative. What color are the wires you are using? You have black and white wire and red and unmarked terminals? I'd put the black wire on the unmarked terminal and the white wire to the red.

    However if you find things are marked, put positive with positive and negative with negative.

    if your tweeter sounds weird switch the wires. You won't be hurting anything, things will just be out of phase. No big deal and definitely reversable

    The wires are black and white, and the speaker is RTA 11T. The black was hooked up to what appeared to be the positive terminal of the SL 2000; it had a + next to it. The white was hooked up to the terminal that had no markings. Hopefully someone is familiar with the wiring for the 11T.

    Black or blue is positive, white or green is negative. It's the Polk way. Jockos, the black wire goes to the terminal with the red dot.
