why arent my subs working right? toko the positive/negative wires off my sub box bc i needed to see how torn up my trunk carpet was from the previos amp i had in there. and when i hooked it back up. my subs are barely working.. one of the wires as writing on it(which i would think would mean positive), but it has a negative symbol on it. i've tried moving the wires around.. and no matter where i put them.. it as the same ****ty sound..nothing better..nothing worse..
could putting the positive wire int he negative slot and vise versa on the sub box.. ruin the subs? any ideas of what im doing wrong? did i ruin anything here.
if i cant figure it out. can anyone in the dallas area help me out?

Did you reconnect them out of phase? Make sure the pos = pos and neg = neg. If they are backwards, it won't hurt the subs but they will sound like ****. One will be pulling while the other is pushing and they will cancel each other out.

not sure what the means.
but i did try switching the wires around and kept on checking. and it always sounded the same.
