Whahaha!


ahahahah ( that`s me pretending to understand)

what`s the absolute phase?

A positive voltage on the red amplifier output should make the speaker
move forward. A negative voltage should make the speaker move
backwards. If this is what's going on, the absolute phase (polarity) is
correct. If a positive voltage makes the speaker move backwards, the
absolute phase is reversed.

You probably won't be able to hear the difference as long as both
speakers are wired the same way. But if one moves forward while the
other moves backward, the stereo image will sound weird and indistinct.
