By following each wire internally will disclose its function, most crucial is the 12V+ and ground, the speaker +'s are easily reversed ..

You never want to get the speaker wires "out of phase" or the + positive to the +positive on one speaker and the + positive to the - negative on the other speaker as you will have poor sound quality. When you do this one speaker will cancel out the other as one is "pushing" air and the other is "pulling" air (for lack of a better term). You will have little or less base. It's best to wire the speaker in phase or correct, positive to positive and negative to negative.


True...
Whenever the amplifiers has separate ground leads for each channel speaker outputs...
However in a (4) wire system, the amplifier's negative speaker output leads are also chassis ground so its not possible to connect a speaker out of phase from the amplifier side only @ the speaker unit itself if its ground and positive leads are reversed.....
