Hi: if i understand what you are wanting to do, you want to insure your
speakers are in phase, or put them out of phase for different responses.
If you want to test if your speakers are hooked up properly and are in phase,
use a regular 9 volt battery and touch the terminals of the battery to a pig
tail or to the speaker connecter. When you do this check which way the cone
is going, either in or out. If you touch the posative terminal of the 9 volt to
the posative terminal of the speaker connecter and the negative to the
negative, and the speaker pushes out, then the speaker is hooked up probably
inside the cabinet. If it pulls in towards the magnet, then the terminals are
backwards. Then, simply hook the speakers up to the amplifier posative to
posative and negative to negative. You can insure
you use the right wire of a pair by using a multi-meter continuity checker to
tie a knot int he end of each wire on the end of a run...I usually knot the
posative wire. For running different impedance configurations and various
phasing configurations you can play around with hooking one speaker up
backwards to have it out of phase. Sometimes when you are running multiple
subs,, having them out of phase with each other can add bass oddly enough. So
one is sucking, one is pushing at the same time...a bit hard on amplifiers, but
can give you some great deep bass.
Is this what you were looking for?
