In general, speakers have two connections, and it is important to connect them the "same way" to the amplifier. (Amps also have pairs of output terminals.) We usually designate the terminals of the speaker as positive and negative. (Outputs of amps are usually designated the same way.) It is important to connecteach positive speaker terminal to the positive output of the amp for a given channel, and each negative speaker terminal to the negative output of the amp for a given channel. This way the speakers will be connected in phase. It is possible to reverse all of the connections and not have problems, but it is critical that speakers be connected in phase.
Speakers do not become out of phase or change phase. When they are constructed, their operation is fixed and will not vary during their lifetime. A given polarity of a wave, either positive- or negative-going, will always cause the speaker to move in the same given direction.

∙ 14y agoIn general, out of phase for a speaker is a condition when one speaker is connected incorrectly. Speakers convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and they do this by moving and alternately compressing and decompressing (rarefying) air. They move out and in. If we have a speaker that is out of phase, it is moving the "wrong way" with reference to the other (correctly connected) speaker. If a given polarity of signal is supposed to cause both speakers to compress air by moving out, one will be doing that (moving out) while the incorrectly connected one will be rarefying air by moving in. This is said to be an out of phase condition.
If you suspect an out of phase condition, review the wiring. Any incorrectly connected speakers should be reconnected in the correct manner. Speaker terminals are generally designated positive and negative (as are the speaker outputs of amps) so that correct connections can be made. Make all connections accordingly.

Does it matter if the neg and positive speaker terminals are switched Both ways seem to work?
Reversing the polarity of the speakers will cause them to run "out of phase" meaning that the speaker will be pulling. It might not be noticable to some people but it can really bother others.

What does going through a phase mean?
The term "going through a phase" tends to mean that the person who is going through said phase is exhibiting less than desirable behavior that society or the speaker assumes will eventually pass with time. This idea often proves true, as the terrible twos and the teenage years do ultimately come to an end in most cases.
How can you tell how many ohms a sub has?
The best way to determine the impedance of a speaker is to look for a label or marking on the speaker. Second best is to look the speaker up in the manufacturer's specifications. Measuring a speaker with an ohmmeter does not work, because you need the average impedance at AC, not DC. You could measure the current and voltage coming from the amp at various frequencies, but you may need to compensate for phase shift, and that procedure might not agree with the manufacturer's procedure. If you are going to look up the manufacturer's procedure, you might as well look up the speaker's impedance instead.

Why does decrease loudspeaker dimension with loudspeaker frequency?
At low frequency, a large diameter speaker moves with the entire surface area in phase. But at a specific frequency, dependent on the speed of sound in the membrane material and the diameter, the surface closest to the drive point and the outer edges of the surface starts to move out of phase. The speaker wobbles, creating distortion and decreased sonic output. So a large area speaker is by this reason less well suited for reproducing high frequency signals. Also, a large speaker is heavy, and is harder to accelerate. This also limits the high frequency reproduction. Adversely, a small area speaker needs to move far, have a high amplitude, to reproduce low frequency signals, creating Doppler distortion and unlinear reproduction. One way to solve these problems is to divide the signal between two or more drivers of different sizes.
