Confession: When I built the mid-treble crossovers for my MG-IIIa's, I paid careful attention to the inductor orientation with the inside wire going to the "more positive" terminal and also set them orthogonal to each other. However while I know which end is up, I seriously doubt that the crossover knows. The signal is AC and the designation of plus and minus of the terminals is arbitrary and could just as well been red and black or flick and flack.
There may be a difference with caps in an amplifier as the the ends are at different potentials but this is not true with a crossover -- at least this is so with my setup where the amps are balanced and the "negative" terminals are not tied to ground.
