Hey guys, i recently did a recable on my sr60s. the cabling went though fine, but i think i might have messed up the left and right channels and reverse the + and ground wire. the headphones sound a bit off, so i was wonding if there is a way to tell the + from the Ground solder on the drivers themselves

Thanks

If it is not marked and you really need to find out (this is a last shot on headphones) you can take a watch battery and apply the wires to the battery. If the driver moves out then you have the correct pos. and neg. If not reverse the wires. You can do this on large woofers as well. You just need to use a AA or 9v battery. Smaller the driver the smaller the voltage/amps.

alright sweet. is the dot under the solder? i just used the old solder from the headphones, the battery trick seems neat and easy enough to do. will try it if i could find some watch batterys at my house
