Please log in for more thread options Hey all New to the group here and looking for some help please. I recently bought a house, the individual who had it built ran speaker wires all through out the house behind the walls and in the ceiling while it was being built.... ( cool I like this) It all comes from a distribution panel (similar to this http://www.smarthome.com/841001.html ) The speaker side of the wires are just hanging wires. I would like to connect them to a wall plate for a neater look ( simple enough right...) Now on to my question ( thanks for your patients) the wire he chose to use is a solid color the insulation is brown and the wire is twisted copper no distinguishing marks for + or - Is there a way to figure this out? Should the + side have any amount of voltage. The wires closest to the distro box I can ohm out and figure those out.. the ones on the other side of the house and outside im stumped.... any suggestions? Thanks in advance Jamie | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options You could hook a 9V battery to the wires and then go to the other end and see which one is positive. Then you would know which wire is which. | |||||||||||||
