I just got a new to me 10" to try out in my Ghia 110. The terminals on the speaker do not have a + or - mark. I know a number of other speakers do. Does it matter what the pos or neg are doing with a speaker? I remember doing some reading a while back but don't totally remember. My memory is telling me it doesn't really matter.
I do have a multimeter, but really don't know how to use it right. I know it has a ohms setting, is there a way that I could use that to determine what the pos and neg terminal would be?

I often use the 9V battery trick: very briefly touch both terminals of the 9V battery to both speaker terminals and observe which way the speaker cone travels. If the cone moves out, then the positive speaker terminal is the one connected to the positive battery lead. If the cone moves in, the positive battery lead is connected to the speaker's negative terminal.
