hi,

i am looking to build my own speakers - Im currently leaning towards “Dinas” as I want monitor speakers with a boomy bass, but I am a little daunted by the crossover build.

before I buy the plans etc. is it possible just to buy an out the box ready to go crossover

https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-XO3W-375-3K-3-Way-Crossover-375-3-000-Hz-260-150?quantity=1

something like this? what is the cons of using a preassembled xover

​

sorry If this has been covered before but I couldnt find any information on the same.

thanks

    Every crossover needs to be custom tailored to the set of drivers and enclosure it’s going into. In order to get the best results out of any speaker system, this needs to be tuned in every design. And off the shelf crossover like the one you linked will function but it won’t perform optimally. You should definitely buy the crossover plans for the kit that were created by the expert designer any chance that you have.
