Cross-wired (in the strictest sense) speakers - can they be saved?

I have an installation of in-ceiling speakers, using 4-conductor wiring. Well, the wires were mixed up in a connection, with the positive connections going to one speaker and the negatives to another. After the mistake was corrected, neither speaker will work. Are they ruined, or can they be repaired?

I don't think the amp was damaged. I connected the speakers to another amp that I know is functional, made sure the connections were correct, and still no sound. Is there something that should be checked within the speaker?

There is nothing you could have done with the wiring which would damage the speakers. That is assuming you didn't actually get them working and blast them with an amplifier or somehow wired them into the a.c. mains.

OTOH, you are going to have to dope out the wiring to get things back to normal.
