Internal wiring on Kef Q350 (a connection question)

[Andre28]

Hi all, just hoping someone could tell me if I need to attach these red wires to the little terminals as well. I had to open it up to fish something out that my kid put through the port. When the driver came out, I am not sure if these red wires unattached or if they were not meant to be attached in the first place. I have taken a pic of with them connected and not connected.

Thanks in advance!

Try it unconnected and see if there’s a difference in SQ with the other speaker but To be sure, slowly with care open up the other speaker.

Was hoping to avoid opening the other one as it was a bit of a pain!

Are these kef coaxial drivers?   If so you’ll have 2 connections, one for the main bass and the other for the tweeter in the Center.   If so you’ll need the other pair of wires connected,   Hopefully they have different size spades like you see on the blue wires, becuase that pic is hard to determined so you can’t go wrong.  However do note there is a red mark that indicates polarity.  If you follow this you should be fine.   Once connected don’t finalised all the screws, check with SQ with the other before completion.

There should be another set of connectors for the red wires as per pic. Couldn’t find a clearer ones unfortunately. It would appear that you correctly put the blue ones in the right place. Keep in mind that the tweeter is inside the main driver so the posts to power it’s will be perhaps on the opposite side.

Thank you. Yes coaxial and the spades are different size so hard to go wrong i imagine. Thank you for the help!

thanks for the confirmation,  I don’t even own one!

Also the polarity it would appear can only be one way, wide spade will go to a wide connector and the narrow to a narrow one.

And thank you Neo, yes they are on the other side.

Also the blue wire seems already in the correct spot based on the thin not insulated wire in the totally wired up pic. So you have that right connect the red and test. If all ok crisis averted

thank you. yes the blue did not detach so those are definitely correct. thanks again.
