RE: You don't understand the problem

When electrons are moving in the direction of the speaker on the + terminal the moving electric field causes the speaker diaphragm to move OUT. When the electrons on that wire change direction the electrons on the - wire move toward the speaker causing the diaphragm to move IN. Since the direction of electron motion on + wire and - wire is opposite at any instant in time it's obvious that during the time electrons are moving away from the speaker on either the + or - wire they don't affect the movement of the speaker. This logic is the same no matter where the fuse is in the audio path. That's why all cables in the audio system, including power cord and AC power fuse should subscribe to this logic. Same with fuses in speakers if any.

So, the only thing that needs to be done to ensure the fuse is in the correct direction is make sure the signal going toward the speaker goes in direction of least resistance which is also the direction of best sound. That can be done at the factory OR at home by fuse in both directions and assessing which way sounds best.

As I already stated current is a scalar, current doesn't move, it has no velocity or direction. Current is a calculation of the total moving charges, I.e., electrons. The electrons barely move, they just wiggle back and forth at high rate of alternation but very low speed. The same electrons actually never leave the wire inside the fuse. Does that surprise you?
