Where to connect wire to speaker

Before reading question:

TL= Top left, BL= Bottom left

TR= Top right, BR= Bottom right

 

Hi.

 

This might be a dumb question, but sometimes curiosity gets the better of a newbie. First i'd like to emphasize that i'm not talking about bi-wiring or bi-amping.

 

Does it make a difference if you connect the wire to TL&TR as opposed to BL&BR?

 

What would happen if one were to connect the wire to TL&BR or TR&BL?

It appears to me that there is a conductive strap connecting the two terminal on the left and another conductive strap connecting the two terminals on the right.  This is typical of a speaker where bi-wiring / bi-amping are options.

 

Therefore with the straps in place, you can connect the amplifier ground-black-negative wire to either TL or BL.  You can connect the amplifier hot-red-positive wire to either TR or BR.  Or you can (I.e. you don't have to use both top and both bottom)

 

Naturally you don't want to connect across the terminals which are strapped together because the amp will "see" a dead short circuit.
