Great video, I read somewhere that it does not really matter which side is positive.... What is the effect if you connect a tweeter backwards? Thanks!

This looks like a great way of finding the polarity. But could you not just hook up the multimeter you already used?

This was an awesome video. I dont know why manufacturers dont label their tweeters. Thanks Dean. Very helpful!
@Assimilator7024 жыл бұрын
Its one of 2 things that has become a combo of both through time. One....manufacturers expect the installer to verify polarity as part of proper setup. Two....a line can be interpreted as neg while no line could also be. I've seen both from manufacturers through the years especially when speakers are c made by different OEMS. So that loose interpretation, inconsistencies at the factory plus reason #1 comes into play.

Greetings from Germany! This Video was very helpful. last time i istall a tweeter, i had to telephone with the customer support from the company because i was not sure about the polartiy. With this app i can be sure next time, when i install a tweeter or some other speakers. I have also purchased the Polarity tester and the sound generator as show at your website. d&f Tooldrawer. Thaks a lot for your hints!

Hi nice video - I’m hoping you can help me out..based off your advice I tried the speaker pop app....I have 2016 Dodge Charger with the 6 speaker alpine system. When I test the stock speakers using the app set to BAL...I get the passages side of the car showing as positive polarity front and back but get the drive side as negative both front and back....is this normal for this car?

You can check the polarity with a 1.5v batery. If you connected right the tweeter cone will move foward meaning that the positive cable is the one on the batery positive. If the cone moves back means the polarity is reverse the cable connected to the batery positive is the negative for the tweeter.

Weird thing is on focal k2 power kr2 wiring correctly to the crossover the tweeters are reversed have yall dealt with that yet?
@picassoimpaler32434 жыл бұрын
This is a bit late, but I can almost guarantee they are wired that way because of the type of XO that is used. It is probably using a 12db/oct XO which gives a 180 degree phase shift between the speakers at the XO point. So by the XO swapping polarity it brings the speakers back into phase at the XO region instead of them expecting the public to know that they need to swap polarity themselves.
@DirtySouthFlorida34 жыл бұрын
