I'de quess that the people that wired it up for you where just idiots and not paying attention.

I've known some people to reverse the polarity on one of there subs (depending on how they are set up), but it's not normally done.

Most people do it when they have a 3 chamberd bandpass like I have (both subs pointing at eachother).... but I run both subs the same because I think it sounds better... plus my subs arn't designed to run that way.

What kind of box are your subs in anyway?

there california profiles, in no way top of the line, lol but i think they did it on mistake because the postive and negs wires, the only difference is a little + sign on the wire which is a pita to see lol

If they were in the same box you could have damaged them by having them wired out of phase
