Hello,

This websites/review of the speakers/satelites of the surround sound system
gigaworks s750 mentions "polarity" and "phase".

There are two wires for each speaker/satelite. One wire is "marked" with a
red ring around it.

I remember one red ring got lost... so I am not sure if I reconnected the
speaker correctly.

So my questions are:

1. Could connecting them wrong cause any damage to the electronics ?

2. What would be the effect of connecting them wrongly ?

Maybe sound was stop working ? or sound different ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

Nah, it wont damage anything. It just changes the sound a bit.

Most of the time it doesn't matter, but it could be bad
if there are any electronics like filters inside the speaker.

If the phase is reversed, one speaker will "push" the air,
while the other one will "pull" the air,
so you'll have a net loss of power.

No.

They'll be out of phase (OOP).

It'll sound _different_, notably a definite drop in bass and a lack of
'position' on voices and instruments having midway position in the
stereo image.

You can safely try reversing the connections and pick the one that
sounds best.

Polarity is the correct term.

Also check for a raised 'bump' on the cable on one conductor.

No.

Loss of basss frequencies mostly.
