Advent Legacy Woofer Polarity Question

<< < (2/2)

SunnyDaze:
Now my next question:

The crossover is covered in hot glue, which, from what I've read is quite normal.

Should the woofer and tweeter both be hooked up in phase (+ to + and - to - on both drivers)??

There's not much on AK, DIY, or any of the other usual sites.

I did a 30Hz-15kHz sweep on them, there's no drop off around the crossover point (2000Hz) so I'm guessing they should both be in phase...

bmwr75:
U don't need 9V to test woofer movement.  A single AA has always worked fine for me.

Some speakers come from the factory with the woofer and tweeter wired out of phase, IIRC. 

If you'd ask your question in the AK Speaker forum, you'd get a lot more help.

SunnyDaze:
It's definitely the one with the pink dot. The battery test confirmed this.

I did call Tom and asked him about the proper polarity. He said that the Legacy I's should have the drivers in phase.
