Hmm... The PG unit is a sub right? If so, you are going to have a tough time integrating it with just a tweeter.
The simplest and cheapest route to take to test this would be to get a non-polarized capacitor of desirable size for the xover frequency you wish to impliment. They're dirt cheap and available at any electronic shop. Heck, I'll even shoot you a couple if you have a frequency in mind...

Well, if you want to move ahead with this, perhaps this thread can be moved elsewhere so we don't pollute this section.
First, what make/model of tweeter do you have? Is there a link to its specs and a frequency response curve? Since you are trying to integrate it with a sub which will provide you with next to no midrange you need to know how low you can cross the unit over without blowing it.
There are a few online crossover calculators that you can use to determine what size cap you will need based on frequency. Since this is just a test, you can rely on what results they provide, but keep in mind that most of the time textbook values are not sufficent and usually causes more problems than they solve.
So, if you can provide that info we can get started...
