Do amp chokes have positive or negatives wires or are they just wired either way?

I don't think they are polarized so you should be able to wire them anyway. Let me try to find a reference somewhere so it doesn't sound like I'm pulling stuff out of my ass.

I don't think they are since they are considered to be inductors. I am slapping a choke in my 5150 and it just popped into my mind whether they are directional.

I had the same question when I was building my amps, just can't remember where I found the answer, probably in one of the many books I have lying around. But yeah, you should be fine. I read somewhere the it only has a noticeable affect at higher volumes, not sure how true this is.
