[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2493261, member: 555320"] It's a crazy idea and not going to work. Seriously. Mix 'n matching drivers works great if you are running active or going to custom design and build a passive xover. But you can't slap any ole speakers to a generic passive xover and expect good results. It just isn't going to happen. You would be much better off with a prebuilt 2-way comp set than a poorly mix 'n matched 3-way passive using an off-the-shelf generic xover that's not optimized for the speakes nor the installation. Likewise, you linked to a 5ohm midrange....the passive xovers require you use a nominal 8ohm midrange and tweeter. But either way; I wouldn't recommend using the generic passives. Either custom build the passive (time consuming/etc), go active, or just buy a prebuilt comp set even if it's a 2-way. [/QUOTE]
