In an AC current, the electrons don't flow anywhere, they just move back and forth.
You guys really shoud do some basic reading on alternating current and drift velocity. Here's a couple of starters:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_velocity
The last link has a pretty good example of a 1mm diameter conductor passing a 3 amp current, which equates to 36W into a 4 ohm speaker load or 72W into 8 ohms. If the signal is 60 Hz, the electrons (on average) move back and forth a mere 2.1 micrometers and their net movement over time is zero.
