It makes sense that each crossover has an output to each of the two tweeters. But there’s only one woofer in the blast box kit. Do both crossovers hook up to the same connection on the woofer?
For purposes of the crossover, “Woofer” refers to the midrange speakers. The crossover manages and splits the signals to the tweeter and midrange speaker on each side. The single big subwoofer at the bottom of the Blast Box gets its signal directly from the amp board, not through the crossovers.
_TEST IT BEFORE YOU GLUE IT IN!_ Gorilla Glue is Very strong, but has some drawbacks. The foamed parts will eventually turn brittle - not a good thing in a high power speaker enclosure. The biggest drawback: You cannot ever repair the crossover. You will damage it trying to remove it from the glue. Electronics companies use a high temperature Hot Glue to keep larger components from moving, and I'd recommend that above Gorilla Glue, though it's harder to find than the regular craft hot glue guns and sticks. Better yet - get a square of perf board that will fit in the cabinet. Use cable ties to hold the crossover components to it, and screw the perf board to the inside of the case. You should use some hot glue as well to keep vibrations from affecting it.

Awsome. Only problem I have is how to connect the woofer from 2 different crossovers to the amp then to speakers...

Simply making, nice job, where is availabke this spare parts?
What kind of glue was used? I like how it expanded like that.
Gorilla Glue

Very good video series, but considering the complexity of the project it could have been more informative
We have a manual on the page that runs through all the details if need be. Hope that helps.
I’d much rather have the PCB...
eBay always has them, I bought a set for my C note build...
Thumbs up from me
