Sony's strange speaker cord

I'm as guilty as anyone; taking the occasional shot, myself.       But only at the obnoxious*, rather than someone interested in enlightenment.                                           *NOT referring to anyone in this thread.   Just in general.

There may (possibly) be some folks out there, just getting started and trying to improve their sound.     Maybe even on a budget?       Tips like the EQ thing are helpful, but: how many here knew how to correctly (?) refer to everything, when you first got into audio/electronics?       How much fancy nomenclature must one exhibit, before they’re considered an, "audiophile"?      The OP’s only posted here twice.      Please: give ’em a break, guys.

There should be only two conductors and (hopefully, at least) one will somehow be marked, giving an indication of polarity.        Just cut off the connector and determine, with a aaa battery, which lead is positive.      That lead, touched to the positive of the battery,  will move the woofer outward/forward.       Connect that lead to the +/red speaker terminal, of your receiver.
