DIY Crossover Help

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Need some advice on terminals to use for my latest crossover build.
I want to run all the connecting wires underneath the board, leaving the components on top of the board. I thought of using binding posts for all the connecting points, but it becomes very expensive, as I will have 10 connection points.
Then I thought to use brass threaded rod.........I can just put a nut & washer on the bottom & on the top I could put a washer with a brass domed nut to give a better finished look.
What is the opinion of the conductivity of brass for these connections? I know copper would be better, but I have found that impossible to source.
I would normally use a terminal block from Mouser (538-38780-0110) which is zinc chromate plated screw terminals in a thermoplastic housing.
Any thoughts appreciated,
John
