The silver square is on the bottom as your looking at it inside the cabinet....i think i remember the longest wire for both went to the tweeters.

Sure doesn't look like any Heresy crossover that I've ever seen. Maybe they switched to that style on the Heresy 3 model?
You will need the schematic. Each wire goes to a point in the circuit that can be identified from the schematic. It will tell you where the wire hooks up to. Remember that wires to each driver will have a + and a - assigned to them. Hooked up backwards and they won't sound proper at all.
If a schematic is Greek to you, post it here along with some close-ups of where the wires are connected on the crossover. We need to see what components each wire is connected to.
My only experience with Heresy crossovers was on an older model 1.5. The components were mounted on a wood board and there was terminal strip hook ups. Pretty nice setup. I'm rather surprised to see the unit pictured.

those are the exact ones on ebay being sold right now,same setup and wiring.......one guy had them labeled and the best i could see was it ended up to be the longest wire was the tweeters,middle wire mids and the shortest the woofer...if i hooked it up this way,and it is wrong,would that damage the speakers or crossovers?

If your correct about the wires going to the tweeter, mid range and woofer the worst that can happen is it will sound bad if polarity's are wrong. What can damage something is pumping bass through a tweeter, it will smoke it in short order. Part of the crossovers job is to prevent that.

picture was correct in ebay photo.........also,i am admitting a senior moment here.......my mids were not working and checked everything i could,just about gave up....then,i realized i connected the 2 lead wires to the "same side",which has 2 prongs,as the connections are actually on opposite sides,ugh!

Haha, I did the exact same thing last weekend!! Luckily I never changed any wiring in the second unit and I quickly discovered the error....

Not sure ? They are the 4 ohm version , so it says on the back...

Yikes you dead-shorted the midrange part of the circuit. Well at least it wasn't the woofer, that's where most of the power is.
Hope you get it sorted out!
