Hi - installing the tweeter secion of a xover in the plinth for accessibilty. It's just slightly tight and deferring one component to another place will just make it more elegant. The last component in the path is a resistor across + & - am thinking why not just add this on the tweeter terminals? Can't see any reason not to??

If that resistor is sitting straight across the tweeter terminals, in parallel, and its the last thing in the path, then electrically it doesnt care whether its on the board or out on the tweeter itself. Same two nodes either way, so moving it wont change a thing.

The only time it matters is if theres something in series after it feeding the tweeter, another coil or resistor, because then those two spots arent actually the same point anymore. As long as nothing else taps in between youre fine. Just keep the leads short so it isnt flopping around loose in the plinth.
