I am building a 5e3 out of a bunch of old iron I have.   The coupling caps I want to use have stripes on the end indicating the -  side of the cap.  Which side needs to go to ground?   I have swapped coupling caps on my amps before but never used caps that had poles.  Which end needs to go to ground and why?
I know this is a dumb sounding question (you would think negetive would go to ground)  but I know that there is more to it than that.  
thanks
