No, actually that's still not correct. It does really get confusing, but it depends upon whether you're considering the transducer polarities only or the related wiring as well.
If you're just looking at the bottom of the transducers themselves and you have no wiring/components connected then it looks like this:
+ - + - + - + -
You can confirm this visually by looking at the traces as they lead out of the connectors and head up to the mylar. None of them cross over each other and both tweeter and woofer "circulate" in the same direction. So, tweeter and woofer would both move the same direction if voltages connected the way I represented.
When you include the related wiring (this is where the tweeter polarity reversal happens) then it gets confusing.
In that case you'd end up with something that looks like this: (As you noted.)
+ - - + - + + -
I labeled pluses and minuses here arbitrarily. They could be represented (all eight connections) in opposite polarity as well.
Cheers,
Dave.
