DIY active speakers?

Has anyone built a diy active speaker system??? I want to build a pair of inexpensive active bookshelf speaker for my bedroom PC system. I just bought the Madisound Swifty drivers and I have all the parts to build a pair of LM3886 chipamps. The part that im worried about is the Xover ive never built an active xover before and Im not really even sure how?? There are a bunchg of computer programs that design passive Xovers, but are there any that will do active xovers?? How much more complicated is an active xover?? Any companies make a kit?? Id like to go with a three way xover so I can add a sub in the future. The Xover will be fed from my computers soundcard. Id like to keep the budget under $500. So that pretty much leaves me with around $200 to build the xover.
thanks
