why arent my subs working right? i 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.

switching the polarity wont do anything besides throw the subs 180 degrees out of phase. No, it wont damage the subs. But, they wont sound right.
So youre saying youve wired them both ways, and they still dont sound the same?
