Somewhere else I read about the same procedure, and they said that you
connected the + of the battery to the + of the speaker if the drivers
move forward (ie. out of the box).

For phase related problems polarity won't matter if only it is the same
on both boxes. But if the driver is mechanically designed to move
forward and you make it move backward, you'll have either bad sound or a
broken driver (at least after a while at higher volume)...
