Solen, will have just about everything you need to do you're own crossover or L-pad.
I have their catalogue somewhere around here

Or

Go active, you'll love it!
Only one down side for you, you'll need another amp for your rears

Or

Get the gf to buy you a really nice compenent set as a "Just Cuz" present

I had another amp but put it in the gf car a couple of days ago along with the energy's that i took the crossovers from. It's to late to take it back now!

I just did my first home made passive design not as cheep as you might think but satisfying

I have some variable L-pads from my SHO and they are still a valued asset
If i were to make the L-pad is it supposed to go after the crossover?

L- pads... or another trick that a lot of people do not mention.... wrap grill cloth over the tweeter... it sounds silly... but it works!

lol.... I found my RF tweets to be a little harsh, so I found some headphone speaker covers that fit over my tweets. Worked great for me.

Thanks guy's for all the suggestions. The grill cloth or headphone foam is kinda ghetto but if it works.... I guess i'll make a trip to the dollar store. I'll post the results when I get a chance.
