I already have a nice pair of JBL 2226 I'd like to use in a Four Pi build, but they are the J or 16 ohm version. I assume the PCB crossovers are designed for 8 ohm woofers. Is that assumption correct, and if so, can the halving/doubling of caps and inductors fit on that board?

And if so, can that be specified when boards are ordered?

The crossover is designed for the 2226H. You might be able to scale the woofer circuit parts to use the 2226J, but I haven't tested it. Might need some fine-tuning. And don't forget the voltage sensitivity shift - You'll need to change the tweeter attenuation to compensate.
