Default Is this crossover layout OK?

At least the inductors are all perpendicular to each other. Is there anything to correct?

Even though the toroids are perpendicular, you still want as much distance between them as you can get. A common mistake is to make a filter PCB or board where the filter is placed on when it's actually better to have it spread out all over the backpanel.

Your layout is good. The short distance between the steel core and the air core in the middle is perfectly fine since they are orthogonal. I measured a case where two of them are nearly touching each other. It was still okay.

I would move the top one to the right side of the middle one.

Right

Or you could say its ok to have some distance between woofer section and tweeter section

Saturnus may think of when people cramp it all together tightly to make all components reach each other to avoid additional wire...something one should not do

Theres no harm done in using a bit of solid core wire

I believe I can hear that it sounds better when each section have each their own dedicated ground wire from speaker terminals
