What do you guys think of this crossover?

You really want to know? How much are you willing to listen to?
1: The inductors are on the same plane - bad
2: Sand (wirewound) resistors in the tweeter path - bad
3: 5% caps (when 1% caps exist for SLIGHTLY more money) - bad
4: Wirewound resistors (inductive components) on the same plane again - bad
5: Not generally a fan of light-bulb tweeter protection - bad
I could probably come with more, but those are the "sore thumbs", that are painfully obvious to me...
For curiosity's sake, why are you asking?
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I just wanted to know, they are a lot larger than other crossovers I have had. I was hoping one of you gurus would chime in. I guess maybe they are just bigger because everything handles more power than my other component sets.

6: It appears as though the woofer section is 12dB per octave, and the tweeter section is 18dB per octave. Not a huge fan of the asymmetrical crossover slope, so... - bad

Well they sound good, does that count for anything :) They murder my quart premiums. Not that that is anything too much, but I am happy. After I get done updating my ftp, I'll throw some more pics up.
Edit:
Here's a pic of the whole set

Yes, that counts for EVERYTHING... I didn't ever say they couldn't sound good to somebody, but you did ask a fairly leading question... new components, pictures - Last Post -- posted image.
I just gave you what I saw as wrong with them, from a technical standpoint.

And that is what I was looking for really. Crossovers are usually the downfall of most component sets (or so I read). Eventually I hope to go active (especially with a list like that) but my HU isn't up to par right now.
