We have our Box complete. Now, where do we start with crossovers?

First, read up on first and second order crossovers.  Next read up on notch filters and zobels.  Estimated time- 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Next, Google crossover tables... there are several available.  It wouldn't hurt to print one out for reference.  Time- 5 minutes

Google your woofer model along with "DIY" or "project".  I found several projects using your woofer in abuot 3 minutes.  Your crossover may not exactly work since you will have a different tweeter, but you can see what others have done.  You can then ask specific questions about what each component does to the signal.  Time to research, ask questions, gain an understanding- several hours.
