Hey guys.

There isn’t an issue here. If you reverse the polarity the speaker will simply move the opposite direction than it would normally move but a sound will still be made, try it! A speaker is simply a coil that vibrates a diaphragm back and forth.

Thank you for the clarification, Jeremie! You're absolutely right. The polarity of the speaker wires will affect the direction in which the speaker cone moves, but it will still produce sound. Reversing the polarity will cause the speaker to move in the opposite direction, which can affect the phase of the sound but not stop it from working.

For those interested in more details, the link provided by Jeremie is a great resource: Speaker Polarity.

Summary

  • Speaker Polarity: Reversing the polarity will cause the speaker to move in the opposite direction but will still produce sound.
  • Correct Connection: While the speaker will work with reversed polarity, it's generally best to follow the recommended wiring to ensure optimal performance and phase alignment.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
