Thanks ryan. it's probably frustrating trying explain stuff to rookies when you know what way it should be done.

So my crossover is a jensen jx2300 that i paid $10 a few years ago. it's nothing special probably. I dont know the technical specs of it. So i can't tell you much



what i do know is that it can either be a 2-way or a 3-way. i would use it as a 2way for now.

and i know some of the technical specs for my speakers. They aren't the best speakers out there. but i think they do alright. They really aren't anything special.

They are kicker KS50.2 Components
here are the specs of the website

Tweeters
Tweeter Size, in: 1"
Dome Material: Aluminum
Magnet Type: Neodymium
Impedance ohms, Rated (DC Resistance): 4 (3)
Power HandlingWatts, Peak (RMS): 300 (150)
Sensitivity [SPLo], dB @ 1W, 1m: 94
Effective Frequency Range, Hz: 3500-20k
Flush Mount Tweeter Depth, in (mm): 13/16 (21)
Flush Mount Tweeter Hole Diameter, in (cm): 1 15/16 (4.9)

Components

Woofer Size, in (mm): 5 1/4 (130)
Dome Material: Aluminum
Impedace ohms, Rated (DC Resistance): 4 (3)
Power HandlingWatts, Peak (RMS): 130 (65)
Sensitivity [SPLo], dB @ 1W, 1m: 88
Effective Frequency Range, Hz: 38-21k
Woofer Mounting Hole Diameter, in (cm): 4 9/16 (11.6)
Woofer Mounting Depth, in (cm): 2 (5.1)
High Pass, dB, at Frequency, Hz: 12, 4000
Low Pass, dB, at Frequency, Hz: 12, 4000
High Frequency Output Level, dB: 0, 3, 6

Now i know what some of that means... mosly the ohms and the rms rating. the rest is greek. and i know these numbers, but i'm not sure on how to set the crossover. i just set it till it sounded decent. but it's probably way off.

Thanks!
