The filter components I ordered came in. I am building a little box to house them in. I had built a breakout box to help me configure a series parallel while maintaining a bi-amp config on my otop12s when I stacked them all together. This passive filter box will include that function and serve as double duty.

All the clamps to hold the box together while glue is drying.

Radian pointed out that my inductors are likely to close together. I wanted my box to be as small as possible. I hope that I did not set myself up for failure.

Also, if they're going to be located that closely, each one should be oriented in a different plane. So one laying down, one standing up one direction, the third standing up rotated 90° from the other one standing up.
At least two of them, anyway. Someone can specify which two.

I would think that if the copper inductor, not the two red-enameled ones, was standing, then all would be fine.

I think Tom is correct.
The copper one upright, two or three cable ties and some hot glue should do it.

A good article on inductor positioning here:
