Hello,

I'm about to add my Tannoy HTS active sub to LOTR, and noticed Stern used the wire with the stripe to connect to the Positive + speaker terminal. I always assumed the cable with line was the negative! Does anyone know for certain?? I don't have my manual handy and using my phone to post. My other games are wired incorrectly if the striped cable is positive! They all seem to work OK though...

Thanks!

On a stern which side is the positive + on the cabinet sub Is it the stripped yellow wire. Or the yellow wire ?

I’ve got a Pinnovators board and lead that I took out of my LOTR’s somewhere if you are interested.

Hello , thanks for the reply i am asking if anyone knows which side of the cabinet sub speaker is the positive side . There are no marks on the speaker no red dot . Yes 2 wires go to it one is a yellow wire on one side . the other wire is yellow with a stripe .

Manual on IPDB for LOTR had this diagram, wether it is correct I don't know.

Would this just result in the speaker being out of phase (likely imperceptible in a non critical listening environment, especially since this is a single speaker) or would it be something worse?

Thanks for posting this. I had mine backwards. Yellow black is positive.
