No, I did not switch speaker wire polarity.I am not clear on "absolute polarity". Since the speaker receives an AC signal and puts out a sine wave, I don't understand why absolute polarity matters. Music/sound will have both components of the wave form (diaphragm push/pull = both sides of sine wave). A note/sound would have to be very low and VERY brief ( ie - 20hz tone for less than 1/20th of a second) to have only one side of the wave.
I need to understand "absolute polarity" better.
