I only have the low input side of the cross over hooked up, and the low out put and the high output work just fine....

Then you have a jumper INSIDE the crossover box, already doing what we suggested with the external wires. You can STILL use the external wires (I'd actually recommend it, over the little bitty computer style jumper blocks inside) to jump from the low input to the high input blocks.

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."

Pertaining to something similar, but not relevant (if possible); If having xover coils next to voice coils isn't good, do speaker manufacturers take this into account when designing the xover? They might as well make it inline, right?

tubbs04: As long as the connections are electrically the same, you will just have parallel connections. No harm in that...look at it as similar to doing a Big 3 upgrade with 0 gauge wire and leaving the factory wiring in place (talked about in DYohn's subject stickied above).

jmelton86: As haemphyst explained to me recently, a static inductor (voice coil) won't affect a dynamic inductor (crossover coil), or vice versa. They can be placed closely and oriented on the same plane.

I don't think manufacturers, to a very large extent, take a whole lot of anything in consideration when designing crossovers for commercial systems....well, except for cost, that is.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Really?! Not at all, huh? This makes my ideas for my upcoming upgrade much more simple to design now! -Sweet!!

I'm sure lower quality companies don't, especially for coaxials -maybe a bit more for components?
