  1. Metra Speaker Harness Polarity (updated)

    Speaker crossover electrolytic caps are what are called nonpolarized or bipolar- the audio signal is alternating current and so they don't have a steady +/- . Using a standard (non-nonpolar) cap in a crossover application is a recipe for problems, and capacitor failure (and sometimes speaker...
  2. Metra Speaker Harness Polarity (updated)

    Hoping that I can tag onto this. I am planning to replace all of the speakers in all the locations in my JT Gladiator, which are identical to a 4 dr JL Wrangler. Are people saying that _both_ the 72-7902 and the 72-6514 flip the polarity? If so the speakers should all stay in phase, and it's...
