Sure, thanks mark,
I wouldn't have it xover that low and I wasnt considering going xoverless. If I go with the woofer I'm looking at I would want to use a midrange driver also. That was not the crux of my query though. I just wanted to know to what degree a crossover network screws with the over all sensitivity of the finished speaker. I am pretty new to this and am not clear on how inductors and capacitors function in a xover. therefore, I dont know how they affect resistance and sensitivity. Sorry, I could have been more clear. In the past I have used premade ones. Is it worth it to build your own from scratch? My goal is to have finished speakers with a sensitivity above 91 or 92 db...and of course sound awesome.
