Glad to know I'm not completely crazy ;)

Finished one crossover last weekend and am working on the second now.  Attached is a pic for size reference.  Just a little difference is all :)

Building a crossover with high quality components takes a lot of space.  Great picture.  Is that about a 4:1 ratio.

No joke! I had thought of using the same layout as the original but the heat sinking factor of the large gauge wire made it difficult to solder. I picked up a hydraulic crimper from harbor freight and put 8 tons of force on the crimps instead :)

What wire did you decide to use?

If that's directed at me, I'm using Mogami 12g OFC speaker wire from Redco.com.  They have a great selection of wire for decent prices (no affiliation of course).  I've been using the Mogami wire as speaker wire (and interconnect) for years now and am happy with the sound of it so thought it natural to put it all the way through the system.
