Hey all. I'm gonna be installing a new head unit later and wanted to know if the 2 speaker leads are interchangeable or not.....not left to right but one speaker's two leads.....can they be flip flopped or do I have to get them right?

IMO no you should wire them correctly. First off if you reverse the poalrity such as + connected to - it normaly does not sound good. However I know that some people do this. I would not if it was me though.

for true stereo imaging, they must be wired correctly. positive to positive, negative to negative. They will work the other way, but will lack frequency response.

Hey thanks everyone.

sorta... They should be wired correctly, BUT you wouldn't notice the difference if they were BOTH wired backwards. If only 1 is wired backwards they will cancel eatch other and sound like CRAP. wierd mid-high flutter and almost no bass. However, this is more of an issue if they're in the same enclosure. If theyre in 2 seperate boxes then you'll have wierd 'Zones' of sound as you move your head around between the 2 speakers.
