making my own crossovers, need some help with components

[scott_fx]

Hello,

First post but i've been reading for a while and really have learned a lot from you guys.

my situation: I'm looking for the cleanest possible route to my amplifiers. I am running a car computer and my amps do not have any cross overs what so ever. there isn't a clean solution for software based x-overs (at the moment) so i'm looking to build custom passive x-overs for my speakers. I am running cdt classic 2 way components and an ED eu-700 6.5" midbass in the door. The components will get 150 wrms a piece from one amp while the eu-700's will get the same power from a matching amp.

my questions are:

are there any resources for pre printed circuit boards? All the x-over layouts are the same (depending on what order you are building) not a problem if not, but it would look nicer then the breadboard aproach.

what components would you guys suggest that can handle 150wrms? I found a supplier, who happens to be in los angeles...so that's a plus. but i'm not sure what to choose. (http://www.speakercity.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=SC&Category_Code=CC)

any help, insight, and/or outside links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

'scott

Check your local electronics parts store. Mine has circuitboards as well as fully built crossovers *l*, I haven't tried them though, even though I got the bass blockers from them

thank you vorgath,

i actually found some 2nd and 3rd order boards at parts express. i think i may have stumbled apon a software based solution though so i'll be holding off on these for now
