Need 1/4" jacks that are sealed from airflow, mount in steel plate electrically insul - Page 4

Positive on + should make the cone move out. NL4s are wired with the bass on 1 and the treble on 2, so if a NL2 is plugged in by mistake the tweeter doesn't get driven full range.

I don't understand what you are saying. Postive on positive? + on +? Huh?
means nothing to me. Bass driver on only one terminal? Treble driver on only one terminal? You lost me.

I understand the NL2/NL4 concerns, but I don't really know how to wire either.
Saw it online somewhere though...

On the NL4 the bass is on TWO terminals, and the treble on 2 others...which of the 4 terminals are paired for one driver, which are paired for the other driver? And then which of each pair is + for cone to move out?

For the 1/4" is the tip or the sleeve positive for the come to move out?

+1 and -1 for the bass. +2 and -2 for the treble. Positive voltage on + move the driver out.

Is the speaker a bi-amped speaker or a full range with an internal passive crossover.

OK I think my confusion woth the NL4 is how the pins are numbered. I can't see mine anymore (mounted and shrinwrap) so I'll buy a plug and use a meter to see which color wire is which. I should have written it down before covering. So if the NL4 are +1/-1/+2/-2 I'd expected just 1/2/3/4.

For the 1/4 inch plugs another thread post said + on the TIP moves cone forward so I'm OK there now.

This might help, wide keyway on the front aligns with pin 1+

1-, 1+, 2-, 2+ would become 1, 2, 3, 4 if you count the way most folks do!
