At first speaker loop, cut wire fully, strip both sides of red/black and twist reds together and insert to speaker, do the same for blacks, now there's no directional issue. Then terminate the second speaker.
Now I know for sure when I fire the system up I'm not dragging out the ladder again to remove and rewire any speakers.
Done. Move on.
This! Was at the beach on Thursday installing a camera system. Client asked us to find out why one of the outdoor speakers wasn't working (four in-ceilings in an outdoor ceiling). Ends up one of my guys wired the wrong side of an unlabeled 14/4 (our own fault). Since I couldn't verify what was what, I twisted both sides of the red and black together then inserted into the speaker... all fixed.
