I have some SL3000s here. There is no + scratched in the plastic or red dot on these. It does have the small/large terminal setup.

What is correct convention for the + terminal? Small or Large?

    When I called polk last year, they thought the wide terminal was positive.

    That's not exactly true as Polk terminated the positive wire with a small connector to match the small blade on the tweeter and the negative wire with a large connector to match the large blade on the tweeter. Therefore, making sure that the polarity is kept correct thru out the wiring harness.
