Anyone ever try building their own crossovers?

I found this one site and they seem to sell the stuff to build a 4 way crossover for 12$

That's the printed circuit board only for $12. You'll be well above that by the time you buy all those op-amps and power supply parts.

I use to build my own passive networks...I still have a lot of coils and np caps.....

Yes.

I've built some crossovers similar to that. its a fairly classic design.

the issues you might find are:

1.) you need some power supply. that design wasn't meant to be run from 12V.

2.) this filter isn't adjustable without changing components.

if you are interested, I can explain the circuit. It would require at least an understanding of complex numbers and algebra.
