Those wires most likely need to be connected to the lugs on the speaker.   One lug should be marked with a +, the other with a -.   The wires should have ends that push into place on the lugs with a bit of wiggling.<br><br>If you hook them up the wrong way, the wiring will be out of phase (I think that's what it's called) and the sound will be somewhat trebly and thin.   Just swap 'em and it should be good.]]></content:encoded>
