Okay, gotcha...now, which is the + and which is the - on the RCA???

Anything else I need to know?

Oh yeah...another thing I'm seeing is that I don't need to be using those plastic adapter rings that came with my speakers as they don't do anything to curb vibration from the speakers. If anything, that thin plastic adds to it. So...another project I'll be doing when I "mat" the doors, I'm gonna make some adapters out of MDF and reinstall the speakers that way.

I am learning, the cleaner my sound becomes, the more you hear how vibrations play a part in destroying your listening enjoyment. The mid-bass issue I was having before is greatly affected by this. I've re-set all my cut offs and made drastic changes on my EQ settings and WOW!!! The mid-bass was there, just didn't have it tuned right.
