Speaker Wire-forgot

[sk8erboyla2004 10+ year member]

When you have speaker wire and one is a round cut and the other is square which one is postive and negative

circle=postive square=negative

or vice versa

i forgot

It doesnt matter on the wire itself, all that matters is you hook up the same for both sides. I usually use square as positive but that is just me.

yeah dude... just be sure that what ever polar you're using is the same one thats going from the speaker to the amp, or what ever you're hooking it up to... just pick one

Peace

Always use the square for positive. Otherwise you'll get more distortion from the out of phase harmonics presented by the reverse polarity of the wire. And the keebler elves will raid your house and the universe will implode. It doesn't matter, just be consistent.

Haha, I got someone. I like making stuff up with lots of big words sometimes.

actually, the postative should be the round side because when you are dealing with the electromagnetic fields generated by the current traveling through the wire, a dielectric that is asymetrical will not shield the transmission line as well as one that is symetrical. thereore induced noise via an electrostatic or electromagnetic field will be way more apparent because of the dielectric that is used to insualte the transmission line will be constant down the entire run of the signal cable.

in lamens terms. square = - round = +

lawl im just playin, i had to do the same thing as guy above but better to piss that second guy off again. just label the crap and you dont have to worry about it haha.
