Hello,
this might look like a stupid question since all of us know that a resistor is placed in front of the capacitor or after ist when using an L-pad. Nothing spectacular. I just saw the schematic of rather expansive 2-way kit and there is an electrical third order highpass. Before the first cap there is a resistor and right after the tweeter another resistor. They state that this way the tweeter is decoupled from the amplifier ground. Can someone please explain this. If this is correct, would it be a good idea to split the resistor value in two halves and place them in the above mentioned way? Any explanation is highly appreciated. Thank you!

That does nothing at all, since the two elements in a circuit branch can be interchanged without effect.
The current through each is identical in either case since they are in series. The voltage drop
across each remains the same regardless of the order in which they are connected. No effect at all.
