Sunn Speaker connections...

Help a Noob out!! I took the speaker out of my Sunn Beta 105 because it sounded blown and I can't remember which connector goes where. One wire is black, the other is white. The back of the speaker has a little purple sticker under one of the connectors. HELP!!

White to the Purple Dot, Black to the other terminal.

Here's a tip for future reference. Take color Sharpies or Magic Markers and color code your ends. Then there's no question of what goes where. If those aren't available, put a piece of tape and number corresponding connections. Do this with any connecting things - just yesterday I replaced the inside door handle on my Suburban and marked the power window wires the same way. Hours later, no problem knowing what went where.

Yeah...I was in a rush and forgot to to take a mental note...I'm not usually such a dumbskull. Just had a moment I guess.

Understandable. How was the speaker?

Couldn't find anything physically wrong with it...Don't know why it's been sounding bad. I use the Sunn head on my Ampeg V4b 2x15 cab normally and sounds fine there. I used the 105 cab last monday for a small gig and it sounded like poo. At first I thought my batteries were dead in my bass but I got home and tested it on another amp and it sounded fine. That's when I took apart my cab to inspect the speaker. I pushed on the speaker very gently and listened for rubbing and heard nothing. That's when I took it out for a closer inspection but still couldn't find anything wrong with it. I may just replace it anyway with something that can handle more watts(Beta 105 is rated at 100 watts at 4 ohms). I'm looking at the Eminence Kappa 15C or a Legend CA154.
