Putting together first crossover from a kit. I will mount all on some type of board and affix to the bottom of the speaker cabinet.
I am aware of the rules for placement of inductors but I have not read anything about running of the connecting wires in a crossover.
Is it a problem if crossover wires of opposing polarity are run in parallel? In some instances this could simplify design and construction.

That actually helps to reduce their parasitic inductance, if the same current flows in them.

Could you clarify that a bit. Maybe what situations could cause problems. I ask because I have 3 air core inductors and two of them are somewhat large.
Air core is not so bad. If wires must be close, cross them at right angles
to minimize coupling. Can you post a drawing of your crossover board
and schematic?
Thank you for the info. I don't have a board yet and am presently designing the layout.
There are a couple of ways the components can fit on the board but I haven't gotten into the wiring layout to confirm that either will work. That's the next step.
The board will be close to 8" x 5" and will touch the eggcrate foam on each side.
