Stupid question


In hooking up my speaker wire from amp to speaker is the red positive or negative? Thanks!

Red is Right is positive
bLack is Left is negative (and sometimes white is left and negative)
Red is only positive if hooked up as positive, and if left not hooked up to anything, it's nothing at all.
Typically Red is HOT in an electrical circuit. In audio, Red is considered Hot and the Red from the amp should be connected to the red for the speaker, UNLESS your amp, or Pre-amp Inverts the Phase, then you want to connect the red to black and black to red to correct the inversion of phase from the upstream component.
