I have just laid out my plan for a XO for some speakers, and does this setup look right? More specifically I have two questions:
Are the inductors in the right position; namely the iron core? Do resistors or caps have a polarity, and if so, how do I know which way to wire them? here are some pics if you guys want to see them up close. ![]()

Nope , Your resistors and caps have no polarity. Some would
disagree, but layout doesn't really matter.Just get the circuit correct and check for shorts . By the way , resistors might get hot under severe "cranking" so keep them separate from caps. good luck..OS |

.... resistors may get hot
.... so keep them separate from caps and when we use power resistors we should mount them with a bit of air between resistor and surface below this is to let the cooling airstream be able to freely pass all the surface area, on all sides of the resistor

Thanks guys for the advice
I know that air core inductors can interfere with each other when placed incorrectly (or so I am led to believe) but I am unsure of the solid core inductor.... anybody else know?

You have the coils at right angles and far from each other. That's indeed the best you can do for minimal interference!

Ok, so solid core inductors DONT interfere with air core? If you can see in the pic, the solid core inductor is right next to the air core inductor near the top...

No, I missed that one! That's too close for comfort. At the minimum, turn it 90 degrees so that the filed of the big coil doesn't go through the little one.
