waynepunkdude Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi guys I'm finally getting around to wiring up the cab I bought from Stevie (who is an absolute gent) just wondering what connects to where, I have attached pics of the wires (need striping down before I do anything else) and connector I have.

obbm Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 How many speakers? Just the one? If so then connect the red or + terminal on the speaker chassis to 1+ on the Speakon and the other speaker terminal to 1- on the Speakon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always trace the positive and negative from the speaker itself. You will find the 1+ and 1- moulded into the Neutrik socket. 2+ and 2- are not connected.

stevie Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The easiest way to find out which is positive if there is no clear indication is to use a nine-volt battery (a 1.5V one might do at a pinch). Connect it briefly across the two wires and watch the movement of the speaker. If the speaker goes out, or towards you, the positive terminal on the battery is on the positive conductor of your cable. Connect that conductor to 1+ on the Neutrik.

waynepunkdude Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Took me a minute to see which way it was going but I wired it the way it was when the speaker moved towards the front of the cab with the 9V. Just got to wait for the Little giant to turn up now. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
