Looking for some confirmation (or some enlightenment) from anyone who has some JBL LE5-family mids on the bench. I thought I had picked up on JBL standards on a few things, and felt I had a handle on the black-is-sometimes-positive issue. But now I am confused about drivers that use the quick-disconnect type terminals. I recently had a LE5-12 re-coned. When a gave it a brief test, I noticed that the positive terminal was different than all others I have on hand. At first, I thought this a goof but I realized this may be hard to actually do (reverse the terminal connections). Further browsing of stock JBL networks (Tech Sheets and some networks I have on hand) that use the various 5 inch mids with terminals (LE5-6,10,12, 104H, H-2 etc) I notice that anywhere the polarity is shown on the Tech Sheet, the solid-color positive-connect wire terminates in a male connector to match with the female terminal on the driver. The re-coned driver follows this convention and would therefore match-up to the polarity checks on the Tech Sheet networks. In all other models I have on hand, which I have no reason to they are not stock, I notice that the male terminal on the drivers is the positive terminal (positive connection from battery to male terminal on driver pushes cone outward).
Please, I am missing something here?
