Yes, there is a wrong way to wire speakers. Here's what to avoid and ensure your speakers are wired properly for optimal sound quality and safety: * Reversed polarity: Connecting the black wire to the positive terminal and the red wire to the negative terminal will cause the speakers to be "out of phase," resulting in poor sound quality (weak bass, unclear soundstage). * Inconsistent wiring: Connecting speakers with different color coding conventions can lead to confusion and potential issues.
