Hope this is useful!
Definitely! It's always good to turn on your equipment in the direction the sound will travel: I think there's a little thing I remember from my old college days which might be useful to some:

SMASH! I think it's something like: Sound source > Mixer > Amplifier > Speakers > umm... Hooray?!

And then, for turning things off... just imagine it in reverse. Not the word, however... HSAMS?! That's just absurd!
