Determine speaker polarity

Color coding: red ( + ) / black ( - )

To be clear: it’s not dangerous if you connect the speakers the wrong way, it just makes it sound poor because the signals are out of phase.

If one of these connections is reversed (ie. positive to negative instead of positive to positive) the speakers are ‘out of phase’, which can cause serious sound quality problems. It won’t damage any components, but you can probably hear the difference.

Usualy

Generally, the center pin is positive, and the outer shell of an RCA connector is negative.

Manual detection

Another way to check is to connect up the cable to your speaker but not to the amp. On the other end put a small battery across the exposed ends of the cable, the + terminal of the battery on one wire and the - terminal of the battery on the other wire. If the speaker cone pops out when you do this then the one you have the + battery terminal on is indeed the + wire. If the speaker cone pops in, then the one you have the + terminal of the battery on is the - wire.

Only use a small battery, ie 1.5v, and only do it for a second, to see the cone move, or you could damage your speaker.

How To Check Speaker Polarity

Mixing speaker brands

The fronts and center really should be as close as possible since the often are re-producing the same sounds. This is particularly important for vocals which might sound different with speakers from different speaker brands.

Choosing Speakers for Home Theater

About my Logitech G51

You can just buy the drivers. Logitechs’ drivers are commonly made by TangBand. In G51, the drivers are probably 2-inch fullrange driver.

One of the way to fix your speakers is to get a pair of 2" tangband full range driver, ~10W at 4 ohms, and connect them in series (to get the 20W @8ohms) to replace your failing satellites. example: http://www.tb-speaker.com/detail/1230_04/w2-835sl.htm but the problem is they can be expensive and thus not worth the investment.

Around $17 per driver.

  • We have put downward firing subs in a LOT of cabinets. We always find the buzz and eliminate it. And we always make sure it is vented out the front kickplate. It never sounds as nice as a sub out in the room, but 90% of our clients want them in the cabinet.

  • The key however, is to cut out the bottom of the cabinet (as you already plan on doing), or you will establish a very boomy resonance with the cabinet. You will be just fine. We place subwoofers inside of cabinets in multi-purpose rooms ALL the time.

  • The placement in the room is by far the most important factor. Normally, subwoofers play loud in a corner or against the walls. The worst position for a sub is in the middle of the room. There are scientific reasons for these.

Gledam koliko bi koštao novi 5.1 sistem za stan, da kupim možda kad budem išao na skijanje.

Mora da ima “downfiring” subwoofer, i da izmerim dimenzije pre nego što napravim ormar.

S-22W-P - sir 230mm, visina 418 mm, dubina 358 mm Ili na primer Logitech Z553 2.1: visina downfiring subwoofera je 381 mm

Primarni ciljevi:

  • da bude šminka (marka kad neko pogleda da kaže woow). Ujedno će se i lako prodati.
  • da ima downfiring subwoofer
  • da košta oko 200-250 eur jer nemam više a i trend budućnosti ide ka Sonos-zvučnike

    Harman Kardon HKTS 9BQ Review The lack of a bass port makes the sub more flexible placement-wise, because this allows you to put it closer to walls than you otherwise would be able to.
