You can see what Josh (funny guy ) drew up, and then you can see how I tried to tie it all together so all I need to do is lay out the components just like a picture. I used circles and boxes to save time

I think the only thing I am unsure of are the woofer -'s and the mid +'s (keep the reversed polarity + (2x) driver in the tower) ... I don't know where I'm supposed to tie them into the neg path - don't know if I have it close to being correct or not, as I just threw them in there. I could always move them right to the main neg lead coming from the binding post if it makes a difference.

Your drawing matches up 100% as far as I can tell. I don't understand the need for the reversed polarity though, nor do I understand what you are asking about it.

**Edit**

Ask Josh. He's far more knowledgable than I.

X3. I have no idea why the polarities are different. Maybe he did it to make sure you were paying attention?

well.. since I could not edit that above post^

EDIT: I have a hard time grasping why you would have any sort of phase issues to warrant reversing the polarity of the mids and tweets in a tower.

I don't know ... I'm just following what was set forth in the first diagram ...

I think it's because he's using dual mids??? Height?? Group delay? Hell I don't know. Passives usually kick my ass. I don't understand them enought to tune them well.

Well, my question would be if I tied the tweet +, mid +'s, and woofer -'s in at the right place.

You can see where I have them connected ... and now looking at my diagram I can see that I completely forgot to put in the tweet + ... but it would be off of the main neg line somewhere.

You can see that I've tied the mid +'s and woofer -'s (and tweet +) into the neg line after a few components - now I don't know if I should connect them there, or right near the -in before any components ... or if it makes any difference at all.

Better ask Josh. Your drawing and his are exactly the same.

No it doesn't. The negative will be THE common point in the entire design. I ususally put my input at one end and just use a common negative on the other end with enought terminals for however many drivers I'm using.

Right on ... looks like that'll work then
