Justin, the crossovers pictured.....are those the ones for sale, or the ones you are trying?  And, could you offer some detail about them, have never seen that configuration before.

Looks like a block of resistors in parallel?

There is a theory, unsupported AFAIK, that a smaller capacitor in parallel with a larger cap (a by-pass cap) has better "highs" and/or better transient response.  This looks like that carried to an extreme.  Six parallel 2 or 2.2 uF caps makes 12 or 13.3 uF for the squawker and the same caps in the tweeter circuit would function just as well as the OEM 2.0 uF can caps.  The caps chosen take up less room than the originals.  They look similar to the square (ceiling fan?) caps Klipsch used for a while. 

 

Looks like a fun experiment, anyway.
