Yesterday I crossed the alphas at 1kHz with 24db active XO while keeping the notch (it's not steep enough to get rid of the peak). It sounds much cleaner than running it full range.
Why not using the DCX2496? They can equalize the horn as well can't they?

Maybe I need to research how to properly set the gains. I think I will eventually give up on passive as you do need a certain amount of eq for these drivers.
I will then add info about your speaker, my own box speaker and using the VMPS midrange planar panel. My own box speaker is a $45 woof with no xover and the Vifa with just a cap and resistor on its own baffle on top of the speaker and time aligned, felted, damped and hardwired. Overall better than my highly modified Gallo 3.1s that I used to have. Can be built for $300.....a super monitor!Enjoy,Ric
