I need a little help and verification on wiring.

In picture below please tell me where wires marked 1-4 go.
I have them currently as wire 1 +, 4- going to one tweeter and 2+, 3- going to the other tweeter. Is this correct?
As you can see in the picture the other crossover the corresponding #4 wire is green and not white. This is causing me some confusion.

    Fyi- SDA 1C's dual crossover design/ These are the bottom crossovers. These crossovers were in the process of being modded so they don't have the Caps on there.

    Anyway I hope some one here can answer my question..

    Thanks!!

    After looking at it again I think you have them right.

    The white is usually negative and the black or other color is the positive on SDA crossovers..

    I think it is right also because it sounds so good. I just want to make sure that the #1 wire goes w/ #4 wire and 2 and 3 go together too.

    If I'm not mistaken the Black wire is the hot (+) for the top tweeter, Blue is the hot (+) for the bottom tweeter and the Green & White are the grounds (-) , On the Green & White it doesn't matter which tweeter they go to because they are both tied to ground (-) at the crossovers.
