Need a high end, quite, phase proper, passive X over!


for a custom build set of speakers that Im making for my Son for his Graduation from High school. The top portion (mids/tweets) should end up accurate +/- 1 db to around 80 to 90 hz in a sealed cabinet even pulled 3 feet from the wall. Not sure till I start building but I already have the drivers.

Basically Im gonna try to make be a poor-mans Wilson Watt Puppy / Ariel 10T based around a pair of Kinergetics SW 800's (the one with three Seas 10 inch woofers per side not 5) Vifa silk dome tweeters and Vifa 5 and 1/4 drivers for mids. Im open to a rack based solution but since Im custom building this an an actual X over like the ones inside your speaker is preferable. I looked at parts express... and Im questioning quality for the components I have. Once I get it down and happy with the sound. Im gonna send the boxes off to an Autobody shop for a custom Lacquer paint job. Im also gonna need 6 or 8 really nice looking and effective spikes or footers for these since I going to go all out. I could buy him speakers for probably less but the fact Pops made them himself... well you know. 

The Subs are good and clean to 120 HZ very VERY fast and accurate down to 16 HZ so 80 through 100 HZ will work fine. Any input would be appreciated. I posted this on DIY boards but seems to be people that care more about the cost than the sound. Not picking on them just not what Im looking for. Im sure there are exceptions just the responses Ive gotten so far so I thought I would try here.

Hes a great kid, super smart, currently in a select Bio Science High School (Gets straight A's which is a 5.0 in normal HS) and will get a full ride scholarship to College in Engineering. He currently is the team captain of those robot wars with skill saws attached as weapons that you see on TV. Yes Im very proud of him and he is way smarter than me. Wife must of had an affair... hahaha

So thank you in advance for any input on sourcing the quality components I am looking for.  

Allgood! and Enoy the music.
