First...the 2.7 should be ON the mid +..in series on the + wire.
The woofer runs with no cap. on it anywhere. The 1.2 is on the
tweeter + wire as you know. I'm not sure what you got wrong there.
Ported cabs should not be stuffed like a sealed box, just staple
(or glue) an inch of polyfill on the walls. It IS lacking that
in the pics. Does need bracing....too bad they neglected that,
but those were not made for critical listeners anyway.

Ok, now that I look at that pic of the harness, I guess that first part was running up to the mid driver. Thanks. I will go try that now. Hope I didn't damage anything.
Well swapping those wires fixed things. I played the speakers a bit and could tell the sound was better from the wire, but that polyfill has to go. I will get some more foam backing and braces on there. Thanks.
Good job. What could be confusing is if the mid cap. is directly
connected on the woofer + terminal for convenience only, but not
electrically in the woofer circuit. It's just tapping off the + signal
for the mid + lead. Seen that done before.Keep foam or poly 3" min. away from the rear of port...you don't want to
interfere with the tuning. Good luck :)
