How does a speaker polarity work?
Answers: okay, let's start with a single speaker. If you only use one speaker to produce monoural (or mono) sound from an amplifier, you need not worry about polarity. The speasker will produce the same sound even if you interchange the + and - signs.
However, if you are using at least 2 speakers to produce stereo sound, then you should be aware of the speakers' polarities. Do not interchange the polarity because the speaker will cancell the sound coming from the other speaker due to the opposite movements of the speaker cones.
You may want to experiment on this. with your present 2-speaker set-up, listen to a music with lots of bass sounds. Carefully listen to the low notes (bass) coming from both speakers. Then, deliberately exchange the + and - connection of only 1 speaker (do not alter the other one). play the same music and take note of the bass. If the bass tends to be louder than the first, then your speaker connections are perfect. However, if you notice a reduction in the bass, then you've got the wrong connection.
Try it!
A speaker has two connectors to it; one positive and one negative. When the amplifier leads are hooked up in proper phase (+ to +, - to -), the speaker cone pushes in and out in accordance with the audio signal. When they are hooked up out of phase (+ to - and - to +), the speaker moves opposite of what it is intended; the cone pushes out when its supposed to pull in and vice versa.
If one speaker is hooked up in phase and one out of phase, the movements of the cones will be in exact opposition to each other and the sounds will essentially cancel each other out. If your speakers are out of phase, there will be diminished bass response and lack of focused sound.
When you connect red to red and black to black on a pair of speakers it causes the cones to move in the same direction at the same time. If you swap the red and black wires on just one speaker it will be out of phase with the first speaker. That means as one cone is going out, the other speaker is going in. This makes for poor listening because it cancels a lot of the sound and requires extra power. That's the short story. It gets complicated when you add extra speakers and turn them to face each other.
positive and negative...it's just that easy.
Just like a power outlet, a speaker has a positive (power) connection and a negative (return) connection to complete the circuit. Look at this website to get more details for your answer...
