HPF for the tweeters probably isn't high enough. Not familiar with them but unless they're a full bodied tweet they probably want around a 4khz HP on them...

I definatly would not use them.. the crossover frequency is highly dependent on the input impedance of your amplifier, which could easilly vary the crossover frequency by an octave or more..

They might be usefull in some circumstances, but I'd spend a little more money and get an active crossover...

I always esperinced signal loss with those, really seems like a waste of money. I have a bnib coustic xm6 for sale for $60 shipped which is about the same price anyways
