The marked(or identified) wire (according to the canadian electrical code) is to be used to indicate the wire that is to be grounded, or the neutral wire. since neither of those exist in a speaker setup (unless the speakers are to be grounded on one side) you can use either, technically speaking. but be consistent, and don't get it messed up!!!

I use the silver/copper setup so [img]graemlins/2xblown.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] . I know its the cheap way out of things, but it was rediculously cheap. If I ever do my instal again (read when i'm not poor as a ****) i'll be using at least 14 gauge, better quality stuff to all my speakers.

Now the sticker is: What if one lead is silver and the other gold in color? What is (+)?

(and yes if you actually use that wire you should be ashamed but I see it ALL the time)
i use the copper for the + and sliver for the -.. Wouldn't want to wire it backwards, and create a black hole infront of my speakers!!!
