Music signal is an AC voltage and current. AC flows both way switching direction every cycle. Therefore signal tranmission wires cannot by definition, be directional.

some rca's are directional and that is about it as far as wires go. it is because thay have and outside ground sheild that is grounded only one the "start" side of the cable. this is so that if they pick up any noise it runs back to the source not the amp!!

That is the "drain wire" I was referencing earlier, to which I've yet to see any real proof that they are effective in an unbalanced enviornment, which most car audio setups are.

i fail to see why some company would label that on their wires , sounds stupid after all if there is no real difference

edit: power wire, that is

The only wires that I know of that have direction are RCA's
