I'm a newbie at setting up my speakers and av receiver and i had speaker cable included but I'm not sure which is the positive and which is the negative
Am i correct in thinking the black line is the negative wire and and the one without any marking on it would be the positive?

Just attach the one with the line to the positives & the wire without the lines to the negatives.
Or the other way around. But both ends of each wire go to the same positive/negative terminals."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52054269","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"aLV426"},"datePublished":"2024-01-24T03:15:25.000Z","text":"You can get a phase mismatch if you use different connection methods - just make sure whatever wire you choose for the positive connection it is consistent..."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52053046","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"efc_4ever"},"datePublished":"2024-01-23T21:45:53.000Z","text":"Ok thanks "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52054452","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"lumsdot"},"datePublished":"2024-01-24T06:45:30.000Z","text":"If wires are not consjstent, then left speaker woofer will be going in , whilst right speaker woofer is pushing out
