To improve air circulation and reduce the temperature of components nearby, I would mount the resistors further apart, above the board and further away from the white capacitor and insulation on the outside of the choke windings, which can melt or burn. (CORRECTION: Auto-transformer, not steel core choke.)
The resistors could get very hot in worst case conditions.
Sorry to sound like such a harsh critic.

​Of course, at the power levels some people on this forum seem to prefer, keeping the crossover outboard (cooling fan optional) should be considered.
