Your question is really properly called one of "polarity",
rather than "phase", which is an almost unrelated issue.
(almost...)
Polarity can be tested by observing, with a microphone,
the speaker's output from an asymmetrical signal, or
physically, with a finger on the diaphragm, (the speaker's
movement with a small DV voltage (a 1.5V cell is usually
enough).
By convention, a positive voltage gives a positive room air
pressure, that is, the cone moves "outwards".
The larger issue of which polarity (_NOT_ "phase") is correct
for a particular crossing-over is left for a much, much
larger discussion.
Much thanks, as always,
