Solen is another option for crossover design.

I didn't know they did it as well, and Canadian as well, good call.

Jordy - my favourite analogue electronic crossovers are Coustic. You'll want a bandpass channel so look for an XM-5 or XM-6. The best part is they are plentiful, cheap, and clean. Alternately, daisy chain a pair of AC 2XS crossovers. Very basic but clean cheap crossover.

If you want some custom passives, let me know. I've made these somewhat recently:

What amps are you using? Just the eclipse? You can buy amps with xovers in them depending on what kind.
The SLS6.5 might do it as as low as you want if you want ot stay with a smaller driver.

We can hook up when you are ready to install it to set everything up.
I do have a 3way passive set that Iyou could buy form me or I could "lown it" hehehe, but it has 10 inch midbases, I don't know how big your vehicule can take

.

The best way might be to install you DD's on your eclipse amp bridged, and see how it sounds... but really regarless of how it sounds, you will want to upgrade and when that time comes we will all talk again hehe.

For now I just have the Eclipse but I know I'm going to have to buy something else. I've got a couple of other amps in the garage but I'm not sure if I want to go with any of them.

A PPI 600w amp (if you saw my other thread you know which one it is)
an MTX 600w amp that needs repair.

Thanks for the offer of the loan but I don't think I'd be able to fit a 10" mid.

Don't worry though, I'll be talking to you when the time comes!

Dukk - we'll also be chatting when the time comes. I remember you recommending the Coustic Xover a while ago. I'm going to hunt around to see if I can find that XM-6 anywhere. Any suggestions on where I should start looking?
