Guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Hi everyone, I rebuilt my AR 11's, installed new tweeters and woofers,and replaced the caps, when I had bought them in the 70's,I had taken them to be repaired, (tweeters), I believe I'vebeen running them with the tweeter wires hooked up wrong, I thinkthe blue wire should be positive and yellow negative, they werereversed, (I think), does anyone know the proper wires for posand neg ? The orange and blue wires come off the switches,and the brown yellow and black are soldered to the neg.Thanks much.. and they sure sound great now...... just wantto avoid blowing the new tweeters.....David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 David;Reversed wires to the tweeter will not cause any harm to the speaker. If they sound good to you, leave them, if you are not sure, try them reversed. All you are doing is changing the phase relative to the other drivers by 180°. AR's studies in the '70's showed that most humans are not sensitive to phase.Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
