You can just pick which way you want to go with and stick to it.

If you choose wire with black stripe as negative, then make sure when you connect your subwoofer, use black stripe as negative on your AMP to Subwoofer as well.

ALthought it doenst really matter in most audio applications you can have it reversed but keep them all the same polarity
true, but sometimes when they don't get the correct polarity it tends to buzz and thump more than clean crisp bumps

It really is. You can read up all you want about how to please a woman, you can look at all the diagrams in the world, but just like the clitoris, you won't know what the hell an apex is before you actually find it.
