Some manufacturers say plug the positive wire to the tweeter +, and the negative leg to the woofer -.
Because that's the way crossovers are connected to the speaker posts.

Single-wiring Advantages
There are some cases where a high quality single wire allows for a better tonal balance for a particular need.
Single-wiring is definitely a very good way to proceed as long as the four terminals are there. The user has the choice of connecting just the lower two terminals and through this obtain a certain “tone”. Reconnecting the wire to the upper two terminals gives the user more high frequency emphasis. Connecting the red positive at the bottom and the black at the top (diagonally opposite) or vice versa will give you two more “tone” options.
In conclusion the customer/dealer has four possibilities with a high quality single wire. We recommend the diagonal connection when using the single wire to create a greater balance.
