If someone found a crossover schematic for one of these DIY projects but had ZERO....NATA electrical parts experience....Where could someone go to have it assembled for them?

If in the US, then a community college electronics lab/classroom would contain many persons capable of what little is needed to assemble a passive crossover.
Probably even some that would wire it up for a sandwich or something.Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

Some of us 'round here have done assembly in the past for folks, but as Paul mentioned, it is helpful to mention where you live.

You might also consider giving the assembly a try yourself. Speaker crossover parts are big and nicely heat tolerant. There really isn't anything fiddly or tricky, unlike other types of electronic soldering. Any soldering iron will do, you don't need anything fancy for this. Just pick up a $20 Radio Shack one and give it a whirl.Comment

Like Chris said, I'd try giving it a go yourself - it's not as hard as you might think! Just google for "how to solder" and practice a bit on some scrap wires. Aside from soldering you just need some scrap wood, a hot glue gun, some terminal strips (european style are nice), and some bits of wire. It does take some time though - especially if you need to unwind inductors. I'm in the process of making 9 boards for 3 Modula MTMs and while it's taking a bit more time than I imagined, it's also quite fun. Here are some guidelines I use:
- Use 63/37 or 60/40 Sn/Pb solder (pretty standard).
- Tin your surfaces before making the joint.
- Use lots of flux paste (activated rosin, not "no clean" or water soluble types)Comment
