    Repalcing a peavey horn driver?

    Our last gig we blew a horn, so I ordered the new diaphram. When I took it apart, the speaker wires aren't color coded, nor is the old diaphram?

    What affect will switching the +/- have if it's hooked up wrong? Anyway to identify the + lead?

    The driver is the 14XT for a 12" peavey monitor.

    It won't make any noticable difference.

    On Peavey speakers, they pair red/black and yellow/blue for the woofer and horn. Red and yellow are positive, black and blue are negative, FYI

    It connections will make a difference if you use two of the same monitors and they are placed within ear shot of one another!

    The phase will make most difference on the main woofers. High frequencies are so short that even if wired in phase, just moving the speaker a foot or two makes some notes in and some notes out of phase. so. It doesn't matter for horns.
