Another way to think of amplifier/speaker connectivity is to think of the wires as water hoses. The amplifier creates alternating pressure and suction on the red hose while the black hose always remains neutral. Pressure on the red hose causes water to flow to the speaker and return to the amplifier through the black hose. Suction on the red hose causes water to flow to the speaker through the black hose while returning to the amplifier through the red hose. I don't know what could be more intuitive than that.
Good luck,
