Most people use copper coloured wire to red, & silver to black.
I assumed this but assuming gets you into trouble sometimes so I wanted to come ask the professionals 😃😊 thanks for answering!!

There's no right and wrong with this, IMO. However you choose to do it, keep that configuration the same for all terminals at each speaker and at the receiver. That keeps the polarity consistent. If you decide to connect the silver end to the black (negative) and copper to the Red (positive), do that everywhere.
As far as I know you won't fry anything if the polarity is inconsistent, it just won't sound right. Bass will sound weak. Heard about this from a friend. 😃
Should add, don't touch the silver and copper wires together when the opposite end is connected to your amp or receiver. A lot of amps and receivers have built in protection against this, but don't count on it.
Thanks so much. I'll keep the receiver off till I'm finished lol hopefully it won't hurt anything 😅

Welcome to the forum !
Do you mean 1 all copper and 1 all silver color that is aluminum speaker wires?
I bought 100 foot on a spool and it's clear coated and 1 wire is copper and the one beside it is silver in color. I figure I'll hook the copper to the red and silver to the black. I bought 16 gauge wire, is that good enough?

Hey, it is me again, so the speaker wire is copper and silver, which would be positive and negative? @inMotionGraphicssorry to bother you again but I wanna do it right. I'm using banana plugs. Red and black.

Hello everyone so I ordered a set of Klipsch speakers in a package and the floor speakers have three terminals each and I do not know what to do with them. I have enclosed pictures of the system I bought and the receiver and the back of the floor standing speakers. If someone would be so kind to help tell me how to hook those speakers to the front when my receiver only has one front channel. I'm lost. Thanks so much and have a great day! P.S. The receiver picture isn't showing up but it's the Denon
AVR-X2700H

It didn't come until Sunday about 2 pm. I didn't even know FedEx delivers on Sunday's. It kept getting rescheduled. I took the 16 gauge wire back and got 12 gauge, here is a stock pic of it and you'll see one wire is copper and one is silver atleast in color. Is that what sounds odd for this day and age? Is this good enough? It was the best I could get today (Sunday). I hope it'll work alright because everything is hooked up now 😃 🙏 lol hope you have a great Monday!!
