Polarity question -> Morel tweeters
 

So I'm building my tweeter pods today and I'm looking at the tweeters and I notice on the red wire it has a bunch of dashed lines(looks like - - - - ). To me it seems as though it is indicating that it is the 'negative' wire. Previously I had them hooked up as if the black wire was the negative, and red positive. Everything sounded fine :dunno:

Which one do you think is the 'negative' wire? Red with the dashed lines, or the good old black wire?
Using a 9v battery, black = negative, red = positive, the speaker goes outwards.

Thanks.

Oh yeah, the tweeter is:
Morel MT22 1.1" soft dome tweeter

I'd figure the red with dashes would be the positive.

Also, don't connect a 9v battery to a 1" tweeter. Your test confirms the polarity though, so you're good to go.

Yeah I found some info on google about it. It also said not to use a battery on a tweeter, but the MT22 is rated for 100WRMS. At 9v, its only 20W.

Thanks.

20w standing still is a lot different than 100w and moving ;)
