This is the schematic for the Modulus MT's:
My diagram:
Does it look fine? Any tips? For the large junctions, should I use terminals? Should I seperate the circuit for the tweeter and mid woofer?
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Do you bi-wire or want to, or even have plans to bi-amp?
Than I would suggest to separate the circuit.
Has any of you ever tried a gas soldering device (use a jet burner myself) to solder the heavy wire stuff? It's cheap and very very quick!

That's a series crossover - you can't really split it up and biwire (A waste of money even if you could, IMHO) I don't care for passive bi-amping either. Actively crossed over bi/tri/quad amped is my preferred route.
I tried a similar torch, it didn't have enough heat to solder two 12 gauge wires into a WBT type binding post. I ended up using a plumber's torch very carefully. I remember seeing soldering iron tips for them a long time ago, but haven't seen them recently.

OOps indeed a series filter, like my old vifa impulse speakers...
I've soldered my plumbing with that torch, even soldered 16 square millimeter garden-hose like cables to install a second battery in my car.
What's the crossection of the wires on these components? The largest junction is 5 wires. With these reasonably low values for the coils (but also low internal resistance...) I suppose not too thick?
Tip: be careful with the caps not to make them too hot! That's why I would advise a gas torch, the quicker you can solder the better for the components...

I think you'd be lucky to buy an inductor with a 5% tolerance, most likely it's 10-20%. Your drivers are likely to be 10% off nominal spec, too. The 2.5 is probably close enough.
You can make an impedance bridge with an opamp, a couple of 9V batteries and and a pair of resistors in about 10 minutes.
