Passive Crossovers DIY?

yes, you can do it, but there's a limit to it, since it's passive. i think you can only go to like a 12db/octave slope, and they should mainly be used with speakers, no subs, or at least i think. i've got a book about it somewhere around here, i'll try to resurect it and let ya know
