First X-over build help please

Posted by Kurtle on January 12, 2021 at 16:44:45:

Hello,

I am building my first crossover as part of a kit. I have a couple of questions if I may (sorry if they are dumb questions):

1) Am I correct that the the yellow highlighted wire bends in the diagram denote that the wire is just passing another wire there and that they are NOT to be connected?

2) Should I hot glue the components down to the board before soldering the component leads and wiring?

3) Is it okay if the components touch each other? Not the leads (obviously), I have sheaths to cover those, but if the components end up touching is this okay? The crossover board is only 2.75" x 2.75", these are desktop speakers.

Thank you for your help and guidance!
