Hi, currently building my first 2-way crossover. I am trying to minimize the size of the crossover (I'll be mounting on a different board), and had a few options for layout. Wanted to get some feedback to see if everything looks OK, specifically about the placement/orientation of the inductors on the right side.
Another question I haven't been able to find the answer to, if distance and orientation between two inductors is the same, does a capacitor in between them decrease the coupling?
Thanks in advance.

Coupling depends on so many things that it's difficult to say how significant it will be. This includes not only the amount of coupling but both the in circuit effects and the signal parts involved.
On the surface it appears you have the lower right inductor core pointing toward the upper right one.

I see, thanks!
Of the three layouts, which would minimize any possible coupling between the lower right and upper right? Or to ask in a different way, is the distance enough that it is probably fine?

The middle one looks fine, the right one will also work too. Which one matches the schematic best of the two?
