    Default Speaker cable

    I know im probably going to look stupid asking this but I bought some speaker cable for my novavan and when I stripped the insulation back the cables themselves are two different colours, does it matter which one goes to positive and negative?

    Is there a +/- marking on the outer sheath? It might justbe a way of iidentifying which ones which at each end.

    Doesn't matter. Even if they say + & -

    Just ensure the polarity is the same at HU/amp and speaker.

    That's what I mean, if there's no marking on the sheath its the way of identifying at either end.
