Connecting the Speaker Wires Using Spade Connectors
If you are not using the molded connector and wiring harness, you can use the integrated spade connectors to connect your speakers to your stereo or amplifier. The polarity indicators for the spade connectors are molded into the speaker housing next to the connectors.
You can use this table to identify the polarity and spade-connector sizes on the speaker.
