Two wires are involved in AC circuits, so that means the signal on one wire goes in the direction of the speakers while the signal on the other wire goes in the opposite direction simultaneously. That's why both wires/cables should be controlled for direction, the signal will be going toward the speaker in the correct direction on both wires when the signal to going in that direction.It is the combination of the signal on both wires when it's going toward the speakers that is the audio waveform.
The signal that goes toward the speaker produces the sound, the signal that goes in the opposite direction doesn't affect the sound. So the *incorrect direction* for any wire or cable to away from the speaker. We don't care about the signal going in the opposite direction on either wire. This explains why you don't want half of stranded wires going in one direction and the other half of them going in the opposite direction. When the free electrons are moving in the "wrong direction" it's like stroking a porcupine's quills in the wrong direction.
That is also why fuses are directional; the signal goes through the fuse wire in the correct direction of the wire when the signal is going toward the speakers. So you want the fuse wire to be controlled for direction, too. The argument that wire in an AC circuit can't be directional is an old wives tale.
