I am trying to figure out if the top row of speaker hook ups is positive? No description on what it should be and can't find any info on it.

Thank you.

Red is positive, black negative.

Classic Pioneer push terminals are side by side, not stacked like the ones with the locking tabs.

If you are talking about the speaker plugs, positive is -- (top horizontal tine).

Monaural and common ground stereo (if they ever used it) E is ground (negative) and there may be 4, 8 and 16 ohm taps, positive depending on the impedence of the speaker.

I think she's very positive!
And I can make a pretty convincing and hearty BEEP noise out in traffic, which is the only appropriate way to be loud and horny around here.

Read what I left you in CHAT.

Use your meter if unsure, stick the leads in the slots. The wrong way will give a negative reading.

Try the REVERBERATION...it's pretty neat.

The amps on this series are awesome but you can lose a channel easily if you aren't careful.

At 42-3 years old they need some TLC like a good woman.
