I need help.
Could some one give me a good starting point to crosover these speakers?
I know I’ll have to try several crossovers points for each speaker but
I don’t want to blow too much money ordering capacitors and inductors testing.
High and low points?
I have the following cerwin vega speakers:
6.5 - low/high
5.25 - low/high
5.25(full range) - low
6X9(full range) - low

Thanks,

Will you put all that in one car?

Will you use passive or active CO?
Any sub?
Any tweeters?
Which amp(s)?
How much power?

It is not a good idea, to have different speakers playing same frequencies from same place. If you really must multiple speakers use at least same one. Not just company, but size too! So put 2x6" or 2x5" in front.

If you want at least decent SQ, use rear speakers just as rear fill, not as main speakers. Basic guidelines for rear fill speakers: Rear speakers should play quieter than front (use resistors), rear speakers don't need too many high tones (use coil), rear speakers shouldn't interfere with subs (correct phase, separate boxes).

For all speakers you can use HP from 80-100 (it depends on speakers and mounting place).

But for tweeters you must have at least resonant frequency (Fs), to determine XO point.

Maybe Khamul don't read answers quick enough before they disappear.
