the black is negative and red is positive. i dont even follow polarities though. just hook them up either way and go by what sounds best

Remember, there are no dumb questions, only dumb people.

Anyways i agree, try it both ways and focus on the transition from the subs to the mids, use whichever way sounds best.

Throughout your system red is right (positive) and back or white are left (negative). [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] Now once it is hooked up and working correctly THEN swap around speaker polarities for best sound.
