What direction should the cable go??????

As we all know, interconnect cables now come with an arrow showing the direction that an audio signal would flow.
OK...here is my question....I have Infinity RS 1-B's that uses a crossover for the bass system. All the interconnects are connected to the xover. So you have the pre-amp "flow" to the crossover. The system requires an amp for the mids and highs and an amp for the bass (this is a bi-amped system). What direction should the interconnects be???? Should the arrow (flow) go towards the xover from the amps or to the amps from the xover????

It's kinda hard to have the arrow point in the direction of the signal, considering we're talking about an AC signal.

Unless you've interconnects with a shield, it should not make any audible difference which way they're connected.

It is a proven fact that the arrow should point to north ! South is also acceptable - but never east or west. Otherwise electrons got confused and one looses the spaciousness. After all, a compass points to north - right ? :-)
