Polarity question noob


Benjamin Amparo

Recommended Posts

Can we just go ahead and clarify for everyone that you should NEVER change the polarity of the POWER for an amp, or anything else most likely. (meaning what comes from the battery)

We are talking about only the wires connecting directly to a speaker that may be ok to reverse, depending on the application.

Sorry for the interruption but I can see a n00b going out there and getting all confused.

Absolutely ... "speaker leads only" AT or closest to the component set.

No RAW power cables what so ever ...

one reason to flip the polarity of a speaker ( not a sub) is to account for refection off a surface

It can also change the depth and height of your soundstage...radically

Waiting for Randal to appear, although ScottishBear has some good SQ knowledge. I know that it can change your staffing and imaging I believe by flipping polarity. Maybe not imaging even, but stage height for sure

Thank you ... And I would MOST DEFINATELY trust ScottishBear with ANYTHING he has to say on this subject ...
