Default Magnetic Interference between X-Overs

I am busy assembling a Small Thor speaker set and because of the large Inductors, Madisound had to use two full size circuitboards (one for the tweeter and one for the woofers) to mount the components. Because of space constraints, I now have to mount both boards in line on the rear panel, the only place that I can fit them now.

As the woofer and tweeter Inductor coils will now be close to each other on the same plane, there must be magnetic interference. Any ideas how I can solve this problem please? Turning around the boards will make no difference.

The usual advice is to mount the coils as right angles to each other. If you can change the orientation of the coils on the actual circuit board that should probably help. check out the following link Placement of coils in crossover networks

If the inductors are air cores and both are laid down flat, as long as there is 2" or more distance between the coils' perimeters (not their centers), there will be no coupling (magnetic, inductive or voltage) having any audible consequence (no matter what Troels implies in his inductor spacing guide).
