    First time building speakers - crossover ok?

    Well after my success with a sonotube sub I thought I'd try some speakers to go with it. I'm building the Modula MT. I've never done crossovers before and thought I'd get one piece done and see what the more experienced builders thought before I went ahead with the others. I noticed when measuring the caps that almost all of the GE caps were low so I was kinda lucky I had ordered extras. I added one or two more, then measured the bunch to be sure it was close to the value called for. Layout on the board was pretty straight forward, but I'm not sure about the wiring on the back. Everything is where it's supposed to be, I think, and I tried to minimize crossing over top of wires as much as possible. Is it ok to have some of the wires crossing over top of each other? Pics below. And a pic of my boxes. I left one side off as well as the baffle until I know where the crossovers will go and how I'm going to attach them.

    No problem as long as they aren't touching. If they are bare wires, just for safety, it wouldn't hurt to slip some insulation (electrical tape, heat shrink, etc.) between them so they can never touch even if the speaker gets bumped, dropped, whatever.

      The wires are insulated and I did put some glue from the glue gun between them where they do cross. I guess I'll go ahead and build the rest. Thanks.
