I Have a Ross 45* crossover I'd like to use. It has the metal diamond in the center.
Foolishly, I didn't ask Steve when I was on the phone with him about wiring it (will call later today for another thing). I see he has directions for other crossings on his website but no the 45*. What do I need to do to wire the unit all the way across so power flows through the metal diamond and all other legs?

Just add power drops on the tracks on all sides.
The diamond has a screw underneath - loosen it and wrap a hot wire around it - tighten. I went the extra mile and soldered the wire to the screw.
Remember if you have two independently powered "Loops" crossing at the 45 and the diamond is powered from Loop A equipment with pick-up rollers running on Loop B will be bridging the voltage/current as they cross the diamond. Guessing there may be an issue if the difference is large, especially if stopped.
