One of my students asked an excellent question that I didn't know the answer for absolute sure.  If one changes the gauge of an inductor in the woofer section of a crossover from 16 ga to 19 ga, we expect a bit more resistance, but does it have a measurable effect on phase?  My suspicion is that it should have little to no effect.

Measurable? Sure.  We can measure way smaller than this.
Audible? Probably not. At least in most common crossover situations.

Phase, no.  Response and efficiency, yes.

Phase, no.  Response and efficiency, yes.

Good. This is what I had expected.  A student had worked out his crossover but wanted to bring the bass down just a hair.  I had hoped that using a 19mH instead of the 16 mH inductor that we measured it with would perhaps create a 1 dB drop without changing anything else.
