rick Sep 5th, 01, 10:45 AM Is there a standard as to which wire,striped or not striped, goes to the negative terminal of a speaker? I have the clear speaker wire and one leg has the stripe. I know Pos must go to pos & neg to neg. Just wondering if there is a standard. rick Midnight Marauder Sep 5th, 01, 2:55 PM Believe the striped wire is the positive wire....atleast thats how all my house equip and chev are wired. ------------------ '70 SS 396 4spd TC# 1341 "You're just jealous because the little voices are talking to me" elkyD68 Sep 5th, 01, 9:03 PM rick, before you go and spend the time to run speaker wire in your car, make sure you have the speakers first. i went ahead and ran speaker wire under my carpet but didn't get the speakers till yesterday and found out that there were special connectors on the speaker. so i ended up ripping out the old wiring and running the wire that came with the speakers under the carpet. big waste of time. btw my stereo/speakers have the striped wire as negative. but it shouldn't matter as long as your consistent. ------------------ Derek Ohlgren 68 El Camino Hugger Orange, beautiful color. rick Sep 5th, 01, 9:23 PM Thanx for the contradicting info http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif I did a search of the Infinity web site (I have their spkrs) and found something that indicated- without really saying -to use the striped for positive side. I guess that there is no industry standard. rick | ||
