Astroboy Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hi... I have a set of La Scala's that I had given to me recently. The original owner also used them as the PA for his band, and had taken out the original tweeters and put in some $10 Radio Shack tweeters to keep from blowing them. He gave me the original tweeters (wrapped / boxed neatly) to reinstall. He's gone now and I can't consult him, so I need some help... The original tweeters have two hook-up terminals on either side of the tweeter. Both accomodate 2 "slide on" connector ends. Both have solder in the middle so I assume one "side" of the tweeter is "+" and the other is "-" (as opposed to the + / - coming from the same side of the terminal from the different connectors). They're not marked at all... how do I tell? Buy a multi-meter and check somehow? Does it make a difference as long as I keep the + / - straight on the output? Thanks in advance... been dying to hook these up (I already have RF-3 II's... love 'em) ------------------ Wayneman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Are they Klipsch K77Vs or K77Ms? - Look for a red dot - that's the positive side. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroboy Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hi Sounddog... there is an almost imperceptible red dot almost at the face of the tweeter on one side. Is that what I'm looking for? ------------------ Wayneman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Sounds like it ...that should be it. Does the other tweeter have a similar red dot? That should be the + the other side, of course is -. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khorn58 Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 All my tweeters have a red colored insulation washer at base of + post and tweeter horn. The neg has a black washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
