Just about finished . One more question . Are caps directional ?
Electrolytic capacitors are polarity conscious, so they can normally only be fitted one way round.
Other capacitors are bipolar, but I have heard some say they can hear differences depending which way round they are.

What are they, some are some aren't.
IMO never use electrolytic capacitors in crossovers even just as a protection cap as in this case.
