A single speaker system does not matter the polarity of the speakers, on sterios it does, more so with 4 speakers. Why you have the polarity markings is so you dont have the speaker on the rights voice coil moving out while the one on the right moving in, this results in some of the sound canceling out each other and lower volume.
