The polarity of the magnets allows for noise canceling. If you have one coil North up and one coil South up, and the windings are in phase, then when you parallel the coils you get noise canceling of hum. If you wire them out of phase, you will get signal phase canceling. If you orient them both with South up or both with North up, you will not get hum canceling.
