First Post. Need help with 3 way set up

[Oklahoma Pilot]

Hello to all and happy new years!

I have been around building car audio setups for quite some time but when it comes to home audio its a whole different ball game to me. It looks simple enough but yet there is allot to do and plan out.

I have gone ahead and decided to build my own 3 way bookshelf speaker set up. So far I have purchased this:

I really need your input on box design and especially 3 way cross over design. Please let me know what you think. Will be grateful for your help. Thanks!

Hey Okie! I've got some Okie blood in me ... from my dad's side. First off, you might want have the mods move this thread to the Mission Possible DIY section. You'll get more help there.

Designing a crossover usually means taking measurements and importing the data into speaker design software so you can simulate the loudspeaker response with different crossover types, component values, etc.

LSPCAD software is one option.

But, there are many online box calculating tools out there too. Though it's probably not the route to take for best results. This site could be helpful:

People here often try to talk new speakers builders out of designing their own speaker, but don't be discouraged. You can do it!
