That is going to be a problem. The woofer shows a pretty good spike in the 2kHz range. So you will need a notch filter. And the Fountek will NOT get low enough to cover the crossover frequency. I've worked with those tweeters and WOW - are they a bitch to get right!!!
The woofer itself can be made to sound pretty good. Providing - and this is a BIG providing!!!! you design the crossovers correctly. Match it up with a better tweeter.
If you are starting to learn how to DIYing speakers then start with drivers that have nice big smooth rolloffs. Don't start with exotic materials with difficult properties.
Paper cones woofers and silk dome tweeters are your smoothest choices.
Or if you just want to build a speaker then look into the kits over at Madisound. Zaph designs are simply the best you'll ever get.
I built the SR-71 and can't say enough about how good they sound.
enjoy the ride
