1.have a friend build a crossover based on specs on the internet.

2. try and find them on ebay .

3. buy iconic 600 dollar xo .

Hello ,

I'm very surprised 2 MB that none of the horn gurus have commented on this, you must be asking some really tuff questions.

May i suggest the easy way out by using an electronic x-over and bi-amping the speaker. Most if not all comes with properties that allow you to adjust for a horn along with the necessary e/q for bandwidth anomalies..
