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????

Just for information a lot of cables are built with no regard to the direction of construction. The arrows are there for your convinience, since the cables become directional as they are burned in. After they are burned in they become directional and if you turn them around you will have to undue the initial burn in and reburn them in completely.

Some cables , but fewer than you think, are built assymetrical and they have only one direction.

I agree with the post above as far as flow.
