As long as they are they same everywhere, no problem. If one speaker is one way and another speaker is the other is when you get phasing issues and bad stero sound.

Don't worry about stripped or solid. Whatever is plugged into negative on the speaker that turns to negative on the crossover that same wire then needs to be neg at the amp.
