Connect a cable from the battery plus-pole to the speaker plus, and a cable from the battery minus to the speaker minus. If the speakers are correctly connected the speaker cone should move outwards on both right and left channel. This check must be made on the cables going from the speakers, to the output terminals of your car stereo or amplifier. + CONNECTION OF SPEAKERS Make sure you connect the cables with correct polarity to the speakers.
