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.

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.

Why is silver produced when a copper wire and silver nitrate a put together?

When a copper wire is placed in a silver nitrate solution, a redox reaction occurs. Copper atoms from the wire lose electrons to form copper ions in the solution, while silver ions gain electrons to form solid silver. This leads to the deposition of silver metal on the surface of the copper wire.
