XO Coils Placement

[parodielin]

I am trying to minimize the crossover board this time because it's the .25 PE cabinet, not much space there.

Is the two 20 awg air core inductors placement OK? The center to center space is 3.25 inch.

Thanks for checking.

I would stand the coil in the upper right up on its side. Position it so that it looks like it would roll like a wheel from top of picture to bottom. That would place its core centerline going east and west. The air core at the bottom left would have its core centerline come straight up at you, and the iron core would be north and south.

Craigs suggestion is ideal, but at 3.25" c-t-c you won't have much trouble. Good luck!

These 7 coil placements are ordered from best to worst.
Orientation vs distance apart.

If it were mine, I wouldn't be concerned with the air cores effects on each other, but I'd turn the iron core to the left a bit (from 12 o'clock to more like 11 o'cloc k), AND center it between the air cores.

Yep. I agree with Chris.

PWR-
if you face the little upper right coil at the large laminate-core, you will likely have interaction. The goal is to have none of the axes face another coil, and have none alike in placement to reduce magnetic field coupling. The air-cores will not see each other around that large monster, so I would call what is there 'okay'.
