Here's an interesting test for you. Disconnect the crossover from a MMG/1.6 and play pink noise on the woofer xducer while monitoring the tweeter transducer with an oscilloscope. And then vice-versa. Even better if you're set up with a spectrum analyzer that allows a two-channel differential measurement using the driven channel as a reference. In this way you can quantifiably measure the "coupling" of the two drivers on the same piece of mylar.
The crossovers themselves....either passive or series can accentuate/attenuate this coupling even further depending upon the alignment and polarity of hookup.
Good posting. I'm glad to see someone is thinking about this stuff.
Cheers,
Dave.
