thought i’d try here first coz i need info in laymans terms.
thats for a tv not a speaker….
i only got 2 wires. i got a 50/50 chance of getting it right i suppose but i dont want to blow my beautiful ev top boxes up 🙁
Positive goes to number 2 and negative goes to number 3. Then join 1 & 3 together.


black & white which is + which is -?. there was no 1 & 3 joined when i removed the old cable from the plug does this realy matter. & if so what do u join it with?

I was being a spazz you don’t want to botehr linking pin 1&3 unless its a signal cable not a speaker cable.
You find out which one is + and which is – by opening up the speakon end and seeing which one is plugged in which bit. It will say on the spakon housing which is + and which is -.
For wiring the jack the…the positive is the red wire in this diagram.
