Wiring a vintage stereo with regular speaker wire?
I've had this old Rotel reciever hooked up to my Stanton CD and Turntable for a while now. Out of the back I have two unpowered speakers using regular speaker wire. I never thought about the way I hooked it up, but I think I might have had it backwards. One wire on each set of 2 for left and right has a blue line on it. Is that the negative or positive? I had the blue one going into the positive and the plain grey going into the negative. I just switched it the other way and there seems to be no difference. Does it matter?
Answer:
Usually the wire with the markings on it is the positive wire, it doesn't matter until the sound is amplifed, in new recievers the system will shut off automatically. Even though the sound will work if you cross wire it you won't get the high tones or overall clarity until to get a straight DC current. ivintage wire will work fine till u start to ues power!! 10watts and up u need to use bigger wire The wire doesn't care which one is positive or negative, but the amp and speakers do. So it doesn't matter as long as you are consistent. Use the blue for positive and grey for negative in all instances and you are fine, but the other way around is ok also. Just keep it the same all the way through.
