Which ones are you wanting to know? The earth for power is brown in polos, but audio follows different colour schemes. Let me know which you want to know, and ill check it up mate.

Not really. It allows for easy identification of what cable does what.

Sometimes a speaker setup will sound better if you have the terminals the otherway around, it's all to do with how fast the sound travels.

If it sounds arite mate, great! don't worry about it. If you've got it backwards and your setup doesnt benefit from opposite wiring (i.e not running components that are spaced quite far apart) it'll sound weird and kinda reverby, so sounds like you've got it right.

It does matter if its round the wrong way tim :P Puts the speakers in phase or out of phase. One in phase one out of phase and the sound will cancel the other side out!
