hello does the positive or the negative wire goto the filter on this tweeter ? Neither terminal is marked.

If one terminal is bigger than the other that’s generally positive

But either way will work as it’s ac, one way will sound better than the other at the crossover

I wouldn’t be using that thing in a car though being 100% honest, awful sounding things normally!

not really important as far as both tweeters are connected in the same manner. When tunning the system, you can flip the polarity of those twets to better/corectly blend with the rest of the system.
Also, DumDum is spot on with bigger/smaller terminal.
Even if you swap +/- you will nt damage anything as far your x-over hp filter is set corectly for given tweeters

The terminals on skar vx200-st 1.8 inch aluminum super tweeters are the same exact sizes and No markings or ways of identifying which is which positive or negative the owners manual doesn't have anything yes one could guess an think filter cap is positive other is negative but price reflects the issue but a SIMPLE red dot or stamped positive sign symbol on one of the terminals shouldn't add cost!!!
