Be aware that successful loudspeaker and crossover design is often a difficult endeavor, even for experienced builders to pursue. Much research is recommended before you even consider leaping into such a task. I suggest that you research every DIY speaker project web site you can possibly find in order to understand just how complex things can be and how complicated things can become. Even if proper drivers are selected, designing a successful crossover may involve more blood, sweat and tears than one can tolerate. If you can calculate or otherwise find out what the loudspeaker enclosure volume and port dimensions are (if a bass reflex enclosure), this information can be of great help in determining what if any raw drivers may be selected for use. DIY speaker sellers such as Madisound and Parts Express often include PDF file download links with recommended enclosure parameters, while crossover designs are altogether another matter. Unless the parameters of your particular enclosure happens to "fit" any particular bonafide DIY loudspeaker project with a list of parts to select, be prepared to expect the unexpected...
