Maybe I am missing something but I don't see a HP for the mid-driver.
Also labeling the input + and - input jacks as "input" and "output" is misleading and is just wrong. They are both inputs and the + and - designation is arbitrary; it just provides a means of matching the polarity of the drivers (and speakers).
As an aside, IMO, a lot of confusion could have been avoided if the convention would have been to designated the input leads for AC circuits as A and B rather + and -. After 100 yrs or so, it's no use complaining :).

You guys got me right. I don't know much about crossovers. But about ten years ago I made outboard XOs for my Sound Dynamics 300 Ti speakers and got lucky. Somehow the result was very good. So I thought I would try to do the same for my B&W P6's. Some of your replies made me reconsider my design and the attachment reflects my lastest design. I do understand that other things such as drivers, enclosure and baffle size will impact results. Now some of your replies said my design was a 2 1/2 way XO. However I would appreciate your repiles and hopefully tell me the order of my latest design and if it is a 3 way design.
Thanks
found out the hard way. Anyway, one solution is to hold the back button until you see the words Speaker Asylum, then hit that link. Others may have a better solution.

They tweeter high pass filter shown in my modified outboard XO B&W P6 diagram is wrong. The tweeter polarity is inverted. See corrected diagram.
