I built my first set of passive crossovers this weekend. It was fairly painless but it took much longer than I anticipated (2.5 hours). After the build, I got to thinking how I might change the build next time to make it faster, smaller, with better connections.
Anyway, if you have any suggestions, it would be helpful.
Thx..
I think you did a great job! Mine rarely look that pretty. =)
A lot of guys use a wood base and point to point wiring, and/or use terminal blocks. So basically what you've done there. I like the white "euro style" terminal blocks where the wire goes inside. But either works just fine.
Nice workmanship.
There are commercial PC boards for xovers, such as...

looks very good,,
I have used a hot glued gun to hold parts in place on a small board with all leads pointing upward for easy access and soldering, makes part changing a tad easier when your experimenting,,

Old Guy:
Thanks for the link to DIY crossover boards.
The board in the link looks more complicated than others I am used to seeing with lots of resistors, capicitors, inductors, l-pads, etc. I'm clueless on electronics...
Is there any guidance on that web page to help you pick the electronic component specs for the impedence and crossover points you are working with? I did not see any guidance but maybe it is hiding.
Thx..

The other parts are filters, attenuation etc, he explains how to derive the values...
