Default Speaker wire polarity.

I know this one will be too easy for some of you but I'm a newbie so
stay with me.

I am changing speakers in my car and I wish to verify the polarity of
the speaker
wires themselves.

I don't need advice in determining the polarity of the speakers, just
the wires that lead to
the speakers.


Not sure that I understand what you want to do. I'll guess that you want to
identify the wires because they are not marked or coded in any way. If you
have a voltmeter, you can connect a AA cell at one end and then measure the
dc polarity at the other end.
