This is going to be very basic, but I thought I would post this for us visual-only type of guys (and you know who you are) a picture tells the whole story.
1. Start with your basic 1.5 volt battery
2. Connect wires to battery. (I am lacking electrical tape, so I used Scotch brand. I kept the + terminal wire stripped very short so to contact with only the nub on the end of the battery.
3. With the cone of the woofer facing up, so you can see the movement, apply the wires + to + and - to - . If the cone moves outward your transducer is wired correctly, IF not it's back-ass-wards as mine was. I swapped the speakers internal wire to get mine in correct polarity.
