Hi
Okay I should have taken pics before dismantling! Doh.
On each of the drivers and the tweeter of the above, there is one red dot sticker on the magnet next to each connector spade.
Can I assume that this indicates the + terminal?
I can test using a battery but don't know how to test if I have the tweeter wired correctly?
Thanks

in the end you can listen every polarity inverted and you find out the correct one.
batteries have plus minus pole. where the driver comes out is plus.
red is usually plus
if you still have a working speaker look there

Yes, the red dot is almost certain to indicate the positive terminal.
The DL10 is a three-way speaker.
As Freedom666 has indicated above, a midrange driver (and possibly tweeter) may be wired in opposite electrical polarity to the woofer to ensure all the drivers are acoustically in phase (this is because a loudspeaker crossover can introduce varying degrees of phase shift).
So, when the negative input terminal of the speaker system goes to - on the woofer, it may go to + on the midrange (and possibly tweeter).
In the absence of a crossover schematic or a judicious photo of the wiring, you will have to experiment with the midrange and tweeter polarities until the speaker system sounds right to you.

@bicefalo thanks for sharing the video. I'm assuming that the wiring on the video is the correct way it should be wired?
YEP ,
tweeter has a dot on left side . this is red wire from Xover output.
the video looks legit to me
