any ideas how this terminal works?
didn't know it was a terminal. lol.
until i took out the sub, and saw that speaker wires were going to it.
2 svc subs were going into this plug/terminal.

where do i find the other half of this type of terminal?

or am i totally wrong about it being a speaker terminal.
lol.

cheers

how do i know which one is neg and pos?

[Fr3aKi3]

Got no idea on that one... If it was me i'd probably be using a couple strips of wire and a battery to test which is +/-.

That my friend is a Speakon connector jay car sell them and that is my sub box too thats a single circuit one to "NL2" it will be on the back of that that has + and -

^^

lol... that's what I thought was a cannon as well, guess you learn something new everyday.

[tron07]

if you were to wire it to a speaker, you dont have to bother about the + and -...

It would not fry anything, only that the speaker could be out of phase, if you know how to listen to it, you will notice the difference. You can either turn the polarity at the amp or adjust it at your HU if you got some phase settings.

Not so good when u shove that in the end of a microphone and point it at a singer




Although maybe it is needed sometimes haha

[destrukshn]

okay got it.
lol, stupid thing.
i bought the other end, then it would only go in half way, so i bought the female side from jaycar and used that one.
=)thanks everyone.
