It looks parallel to me! "Red" or "black" doesn't matter for this type of capacitor. Only electrolytic capacitors are polarized...

It depends on how it actually sounds. Sometimes it helps to tilt the speakers, angling them down. But then the distance from the...

Ignoring amplifiers with tone controls or EQ, most amplifiers (most electronics) don't have a "sound". ALL active analog electronics...

It does depend on the type of music but PA speakers are usually sensitive/efficient (they go loud with one Watt) and they can handle...
