TB, what are av hookups?
Do the speakers have rca plugs on them, or bare wire? |

TB, you can cut off the plugs and expose 2 bare wires.
When the wires are exposed, use a AA battery to determine polarity. Ask a friend for help with this.
Touch the wires across the battery and watch the woofer. If the woofer moves outward, then the wire that was on the battery+ is receiver +. Reverse is true if the woofer recedes. |
