    Neat work. Interesting project.

    Think about the length of those short wires compared to the many yards of wire in the crossover inductors. The very very very very short lengths of connecting wire have extremely low capacitance and inductance compared to the values in the crossover.

    That is why Altec used smaller size but properly current rated wire in their crossovers. Twisted or parallel or separated? Larger gauges of cable have higher C than lower gauges due to larger conductor spacing. Twisted wire is more resistant to external electromagnetic influences. At the length shown in your pic, insignificant. If there is hum or noise or crosstalk the problem is elsewhere and not due to your crossover wiring

    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.
