When wiring a 2x12 in parallel the positive goes to the tip and the negative goes to the sleeve, right? Or does it matter?

Re: Noob question, but...
Technically it doesn't matter, it will sound OK even if you wire it backwards.
But, take a look at standard wiring diagram:
If you have 8 Ohm speaker cabinet (2 speakers of 16 Ohms in parallel) and you want to add one more 8 Ohm cabinet (plug it into OUT jack in the pic) to use it as a monitor, you may be in a problem.
Sound coming from added cab will not be in phase with yours.
So, use standard wiring, as in pic, as you stated
