Positive-Negative On BInding Posts

I haven't been able o listen to my stereo due to my parents being ill.About 2 years ago I remove the speaker that was being used and I just went to set my system back up and there aren't any indicators showing which post is positive or negative. No red ring etc.
I have a pair of IMF 80'S. I sent my amps away a month ago to get upgraded and didn't notice the problem with until I went to hookup the new speaker cables.I checked On Line but no info or pictures of the rear of the speakers. Can someone help me ?

Thanks
Bill

It shouldn’t matter as little no as you wire up both speakers the same way, ie connect left side to black and right side to red on both speakers

Hi Bill - 

Red is positive (+), black is negative ( - ).

As long as you hook up the same amp channels to the corresponding binding post the same way on each speaker it shouldn’t matter.  For example, if you hook up positive on the amp to the top (or left) binding post on one speaker, do it the same way on the other.  

As long as your speakers are in phase with each other it will sound like it should.
