Speaker wiring

Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The wire marked with a stripe or rib is used for the positive (+) red terminal connection. The plain wire is used for the negative (–) black terminal connection. Strip approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm) of insulation from the ends of both wires (Figure 6). Then, twist the ends of each wire so there are no loose strands.
