It might not be bad [i]as long as no speaker hot lead conductor makes contact with a ground lead[/i]. The amp would "see" this as a short (no resistance.) And any hot lead conductor should probably not make contact with any metal panels, being they could well be grounded. Some plastic electrical tape would take care of all this. Taping all exposed conductors/connectors is best, if there's no certainty as to which is hot or ground. Remember which lead is which and look for a red dot or plus sign on the original or new driver unit so as to not mix up polarity when reinstalling. Not harmful, but a reversal would cause weird acoustic phasing issues.
