We use a low pass filter on midrange speakers because most speakers of this type get much worse sounding outside of an ideal range of frequencies. We call that the speaker's passband.There are ways to pick your low and high cutoff frequencies for a midrange, but conservatively we can go with 500 Hz on the low end with a 12 dB/octave slope. The top end ideally is also adjustable, and you can set that by ear with something like 2.5 kHz as the midrange/tweeter crossover frequency. It's ok to go higher than that. If you tell us about the rest of your system, like where the speakers are installed, your head unit, amplifiers, etc. we can give you more detailed guidance.</blockquote>
