Ah, I see! I think it is starting to slowly sink in...
How do i parallel the caps to each other but the same time put them in series to the tweeter? And what does it do compared to the arrangement i had in my last post?

Yes like that, if you also exchange the position of the cap and the coil of the woofers it will be perfect.
How come there is two caps at the tweeter circuit? Could they be replaced with one 22uF capacitor instead? Jantzen have a 22uF caps. However, they are not cheap. But the Jupiter Wax ain't cheap either. Would there be a benefit?
This is a very interesting thread which has got me considering building something again.
I don't think I've seen it posted, but what size baffle are people using.
In addition is there a dipole tweeter the could be used as a replacement for the Dayton Audio RST28F-4 1-1/8"?

Anyone actually got around to build this speaker with the passive crossover that can share how it worked out?
I think this speaker would fit perfect when looking at the WAF factor - size, looks and price are perfect and could easily be pushed against the wall when not in use. This is something I need to take into consideration but would of course want as good sound as possible,, but will not chase down the last few percentages if size, looks and price nevertheless will excludes it from being accepted.
I hope someone can give their opinion about the speaker using the passive crossover - I would be really happy.
Thanks.

Building this speaker with the passive crossover and also possible to active minidsp crossover. Did nit like the crossover in the speaker itself so i printed an enclosure for it. And made an backplate for hiding the wiring.
I thought the Caladan Crossover was a series type, not parallel....maybe confusing this speaker with another Open Baffle type speaker

An alternative would be to use speaker cleats, which will move the screw holes into the baffle further away from the chamfer cuts.
I'm currently not building the Calandan, but doing a similar set of butcher block baffles with rear mounting drivers and front 45 degree chamfer cuts.
Using these (cut shorter) for the cleats:
