[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6989526, member: 576029"] look at frequency response plots. make sure you are operating the driver in a range without excessive cone break-up or wild response. some drivers do better off-axis than others. Madisound offers response curves at 0deg, 30deg, and 60deg off-axis to help you with that determination. tweeters don't like to be played too low. the crossover point is largely influenced by the slope. i like 18dB/oct or 24db/oct on my tweeters so i have more control over their range. if you use some random ebay crossovers, know the frequency point and slope. also note that as speaker impedance changes, so does the crossover point. Parts Express has tables to help you choose values for crossovers, and there are online calculators to help you determine values. you'll have to assemble the crossovers yourself, using some perf-board and a soldering iron and zip ties (to hold everything in place). some insulated terminal strips can offer easy speaker connection, and you can put everything in a project box to keep it safe.
