If you can't tell which terminal is bigger/smaller, or this happens again:

Connect the + end of a AA battery to one speaker terminal and the - end to the other terminal.

If the cone pushes out, then the + speaker terminal is the one connected to the +end of the AA and the - speaker terminal is the one connected to the - end.
If the cone pulls in, then you've got the terminals reversed
