[QUOTE="moe3152, post: 8842428, member: 688925"] I'm trying to restore some old speakers from a 1997 Volvo 850. And the wiring totally confuses me. They're not coaxial but the tweeter is mounted right above the woofer and they're wired directly to each other. I've triple tested the polarity of each one with a 9 volt battery and have identified both pos and neg connections. Here's the confusion. The tweeter has the capacitor wired into the negative wire and the woofer has, what I'm guessing is a resistor(since the speakers is rated at 8ohms but when I measure thru the resistor it's 11ohms), also wired into the negative wire. How can this be? Every youtube video I've watched says a capacitor should be wired into the positive wire. Anybody have an idea what's going on? Thanks [/QUOTE]
