Yo Mdomnick,
To understand Phase, think of a kick drum with a microphone in front of it. When the drummer presses down on the pedal, the beater hits the drum head and a sound wave radiates from the drum to the microphone. The front of the wave causes the mic to move inward and produce a positive signal that when played back should move the cone of a loudspeaker outward toward the listener. If the wires to the spearker are reversed (or the phase is reversed) then the cone will move inward during the drum "beat" and the dynamics of the drumbeat will be changed (diminished). Not all instruments produce sounds that are as phase dependent as drums...organs and woodwinds for instance...but most are thought to sound better if played back "in phase" than "out of phase". Don't think about it too hard or you'll wind up in an "out of phase" condition.
