R3 and C5 are a Zobel woofer damper. Those components aren't used on the 1K6alxxdB crossover, which has only a coil in series with the woofer. But it seems like you have Theater four π speakers, don't you? Those use the 1K6a010dB crossover, which does include those components. If you don't have R3 and C5 installed, the midwoofer will have some peaking around 2kHz so you'll want to add them. It's easy to do, just wire 8 ohm R3 and 20uF C5 in series and connect the ends of the series line across the woofer.
