Anyone running Alpine PDX amps
This might be a stupid question so I am prepared for some abuse
On the plug in speaker terminals is the positive at the top? Its really not that clear on the amp it self...

+ and - are marked on the plugs. It doesn't matter which way you plug them into the amp, because its Outer and Inner. Not Top and Bottom.
So, it's impossible to plug them in backwards.

Also, the plug fits in both ways which makes is tougher to determine positive and negative..

You can't plug it in wrong, even if you wanted to.
I see you have Blue wire on Positive.
So if you plugged it in with blue wire on top, then Blue would be plugged into POsitive in the amp.
If you plugged it in with Blue wire on bottom, then Blue would still be plugged into positive in the amp.
It's just like a round barrel plug that goes into a laptop, or from an A/C Adapter. There is no upside down.
