another polarity riddle

forgive me for raising this venerable topic again, but...

i recently bought a pair of audiopax 88s to power my avantgarde duo 2.0s. the audiopax amps invert absolute polarity, so i have attached + to - on the taps of each amp. so far so good. the crossover of the AGs apparently also inverts polarity, so that it i recommended that the jumper is attached + to - from the mid horn to the treble horn. now i'm confused. wont following this advice negate the polarity shift from the amps -- at least as to the treble horn -- or does the crossover in the mid horn take care of this. thanks for any guidance.

My Jadis amp inverts polarity - the manual asks to switch + and - in the speakercable at the amp side to solve the issue - now my AG UNOs invert polarity again, so I decided to keep the cables at the amp side with + and - correctly attached. I do notice a better resolution and laid back presentation with this configuration rather than than following the continuous polarity changes along my setup.
