How do you know positive and negative terminals?
Look for a + by the positive terminal and a - by the negative terminal, or red for positive, black for negative. Some batteries have the positive terminal protruding and the negative terminal flat. Or you can get a meter that will tell you which is which,
How can you tell which is positive and which is negative on a speaker hookup?
Depending on colours of course black is usually negative and the other colour (generally red but depends) is positive. Get a D-cell Battery. Now get two pieces of speaker wire. hold one wire on the positive terminal of the battery and hold the other on the negative side of the battery. touch the wires to the positive and negative posts on the speaker. if the cone moves out ward the positive and negative are correct if it moves inward then the positive and negative are reversed (out of phase.) this simple test will allow you to see which terminal is which.

How do you tell a positive speaker wire from a negative speaker wire?
The positive speaker wire is a solid color, your negative wire should have a stripe on it.
How do you tell which is the positive battery terminal?
If the battery has round terminals the positive is the larger diameter of the two
What are the colors for positive and negative on the speakers of a 1995 Cavalier?
The voltage in speaker wire is too small to cause harm. Plug the two wires in. If the speakers work the wires are correct. If the speaker doesn't work try them the other way. ANSWER voltage does not cause harm no matter how high. amperage is what causes harm. speakers will work like a light bulb either way. positive to negative or negative to positive. with sub-woofer you can tell if it is right, the sub should pull inward on deep base . I believe cavalier rear speakers are hooked in series positive in one speaker, negative of that speaker to positive of the other speaker, and neg of that speaker back to stereo
How do you hook up speaker wire to a speaker?
Each speaker needs to be connected using two wires. One wire is "grounded" and the other carries the alternating sound signal. This question is very simple to ask but is much more complicated to answer because you don't say anything about the kinds of terminals there are on the speaker or the amplifier! On the speaker are there threaded posts with thumb nuts? Or clip-on-wire connectors? Or some other system? On the amplifier what type of speaker output terminals are there: are they screw-down types which need a loop of wire under a washer? Or sockets for phono plugs? Or some other system? There are so many possible wire/terminal combinations it doesn't make sense to write a long essay on all the possible hook-ups you could use. If you cannot work it out from the User Guides that came with the speaker or the amplifier then it is best either to ask a friend who knows about speakers to show you what to do, or ask someone at any store that sells hi-fi systems.
How do you connect amp to speakers?
at the back of the amp you got the answer it will tell you.Do not conect to the radio, go from speaker to amp.It will tell you where.
How do you tell the difference between positive and negative on a led?
The longer leg of an LED is typically the positive (+) terminal, while the shorter leg is the negative (-) terminal. Additionally, the positive leg usually has a flat edge or a notch near it as a visual indicator.
How do you tell if the alternator is gone in a 2000 E-250?
Start the vehicle.. and disconnect the positive terminal of your battery.. if the engine dies.. your alternater needs attention.
How can you distinguish between positive and negative terminals?
Positive terminals typically have a red color or a "+" sign indicated, while negative terminals are usually black or have a "-" sign marked. Additionally, positive terminals are connected to the cathode, while negative terminals are connected to the anode in a battery or electrical device.
Back speakers are dead in a 95 sunfire how do you tell if it is a short in a wire or bad speakers?
Items required----9 volt battery, or really anything bigger than a AAA battery, speaker wire(couple of feet at the most) First, unplug the speaker terminal from the back of the speaker. Cut the ends of your speaker wire so that you have exposed wire(2 1 ft pieces of wire) on both ends. Wrap bare wire around speaker terminals, both positive and negative sides(doesn't matter which is which), making sure the wires will not fall off. Now take your battery, and touch one wire to the positive side of the battery and one to the negative side(again, it doesnt matter which wire goes where). If you hold the negative side and brush the positive side, or vice versa, you should get some crackling noise out of your speaker. If you don't, the voice coil in your speaker is fried and you need a new one. Hope this helps!!! oh yeah, connect the wire to the terminals on the speaker, not the wiring harness. Pretty simple to figure out, but wanted to clarify. ==Because...== BOTH speakers are dead, I would suggest also checking the fader control on the radio, just to make sure you aren't faded all the way to the front. It that is the case, you could test and replace speakers 'till the cows come home but still wouldn't hear a thing.
