Hi,
Yes, the two speakers must be 'in phase', as AJS has said. In the past I have checked speakers by touching a 1.5volt flashlight battery across the speaker terminals. One way round will make the cone pull in, the other way round will make it push out. Whichever post the battery positive was on when the cone pushed out can be marked with a bit of red tape.
Do this for both speakers and they will then be in phase when connected to the amp.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Pete
