"The terminals are simply labled red on positive and blk on negative." Quite right.

And that's all it is! Nothing but a means to describe which way a driver will move when a + battery post is touched to the red terminal.

Good thing though that a general agreement has been reached that "+" means an outwards-going excursion (nvver-minding the usual out-of-phase crossover wiring).

Regarding JBL woofers I could almost agree, Tannoys (of a certain vintage) are somewhat different as woofer and tweeter coil share the same magnet.

Again if you have issues with Tannoys 'being designed' to move inwards take that up with their engineers. Could prove difficult though as I expect most of them to have retired a long time ago.
Until I have their word on it I stick with what they wrote in the technical manual (the one for service engineers)� and my ears.
