A fuse used on AC has no direction.

Direction of fuse in AC circuit - geoffkait 04:06:39 07/11/23 (0)
For the umpteenth time direction matters in an AC circuit because we only care about the signal when it's headed toward the speakers, downstream. When the signal goes away from the speakers (upstream) during the half cycle of alternation of current AC you can ignore it since it doesn't affect the sound. That's true for both the fused wire and the unfused wire of the AC circuit.
This should not be surprising since the AC wires themselves are directional. Thus, you'd be well advised that if the fuse is in the speaker the speaker cables and the internal speaker wiring should also be oriented in the correct direction.
What isn't necessarily obvious is how the signal coming into the speaker on + wire and - wire interacts with the voice coil and the permanent magnet of the speaker. That's an assignment for the reader.

Well yes, it does. It is SO obvious when listening: the wrong direction consistently sounds flat and dull. It's not subtle at all.

What evidence do you have to support your argument? That you read it on the internet?
