this the best option for this task

or are there reliable phone apps and methods other than the fh-168

It's the exact one I use, it always came with a CD. If you can't use the CD, Polarity Pops can be easily downloaded from the web. You can also download a speaker polarity app from the apple store or Android store.

We used a DeWalt battery to test polarity. Are we crazy or redneck? Shitt we might be both.

You can test polarity with any mono track, ie AM talk radio. The track should sound centered on the dash. If a driver is out of polarity, then the track will sound wide and diffuse.

Audio control mobile tools app has a polarity checker built in.
