It doesn't really matter, as long as you connect them to the same polarity at both ends. Most people use the gold or reddish-copper wire as the positive, as it is the red terminal and the silver, or non-colored lead to the negative as it is black.

If speaker wire is silver and copper which one is positive?
Whichever one you connect to the positive terminal. The colors are there so you can find the same wire at the other end.
Is the silver speaker wire copper?
Yes; it is tinned copper.
Can you replace Ni-chrome wire with silver or copper wire?
No. Ni-Chrome wire is resistance wire used in pottery and as a heating element for pyrotechnics. There is no application for Home Theater for this wire.
Which wire is positive on a house stereo silver or gold?
GOLD IS USUALLY THE + HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE LOOKING ONLY AT ONE END, YOU BETTER CHECK THE OTHER END AND MAKE SURE IF YOU ARE ATTACHING BOTH ENDS AS PART OF THE SAME INSTALLATION, IT WILL NOT REALLY MATTER OTHER THAN GOING ALONG WITH THE INDUSTRY STANDARD JUST MAKE SURE IT GETS CONNECTED: + TO + and - TO -
How do you wire stereo speakers?
The new speakers come with un-stripped copper wires..... you need a pair of wire strippers.... i put in kenwood speakers and the size of the wire was 14 somethin. you would need to get a wire diagram for you car/truck to see the colors of the positive and negative wires. then look on the aftermarket speaker box to see which wire is negative and which one is positive.... After you would do all this, just match up negative to negative and positive to positive. simple as that. I'd recommend wire nutting the wires or electrical taping them... but DO NOT put all four wires together. that will mess your speakers' sound up completely. wire nut the positives together and then wire nut the negatives together.
You have copper and silver speaker wire and the silver has writing on it Which one is positive?
It is traditional to use the copper colored wire as the positive. Of course, the electrons don't care what color the wire is as long as you hook it up the same at both ends!
In regards to speakers is the gold wire positive and the silver wire negative?
Yes
What is the wire made for in a circuit?
Usually copper, sometimes gold or silver.
What out of copper gold and silver which is best suited for an electrical wire?
All three are very good conductors.Copper is relatively inexpensive, while gold and silver are very expensive.Copper and silver oxidize slowly to a conductive oxide, gold does not oxidize or corrodeConsidering the above copper is generally the best choice for electrical wire unless corrosion is a potentially serious problem, in which case a very thin gold plating on copper wire may be a reasonable choice.
If speaker wire is silver and copper which one is positive?
Whichever one you connect to the positive terminal. The colors are there so you can find the same wire at the other end.
Is the copper wire positive or negative?
copper is positive
Is the silver speaker wire copper?
Yes; it is tinned copper.
What type of mixture is copper wire in silver nitrate?
When you place copper wire in a silver nitrate solution, your result should be a heterogeneous mixture.
If silver is a better conductor than copper then why is copper wire used in daily life instead of silver wire?
The price of copper today is $3.43 a pound. The price of silver today is $12.90 an ounce. Copper is much cheaper.
What are the elements of copper wire?
Electrical wire can consist of several different elements from Aluminum to copper and even steel. Many types of wire have been made from silver and also gold, depending on the application, and it's no uncommon to plate the wire with another metal to avoid corrosion or rust.
What is the color of speaker cable?
Speaker cable can have an insulator that could be any color. The wire inside is typically silver, copper or gold colored.
Which is better to use for positive on speaker wire silver or copper?
It doesn't matter both wires are made of copper. The only difference in colour is to keep the polarity the same throughout the system. Pick which colour you want to make positive and use it on all of the positive terminals.
