I'm attempting to build the Crossover for a Kit81M and I'm running into trouble. The drivers (I'm testing them free air with a small amount of power from my my reciever.) are producing high distorted sound, especially from the tweeter as it's playing the baseline. I built the crossovers by taking the leads of the components and twisting them together so I could test it and change anything if I ran into problems. Now, I don't think the twisted connections are bad, I double and triple checked them and everythign seems to be making good contact. I hooked every up on a piece of wood and I'm using 14 gauge wire as the manual says I should.
I have 1 question though, the schematic shows that multiple parts in many different place need to be connected to the same wire in parallel but at different places. Do I have to connect them in different places or can I just twist the leads all together in one place?
Also, I'm only using the left channel of my reciever as I only built one crossover at this time, I don't think that should make a difference though.
