I second that recommendation

" I won't be independently measuring the components due to lack of funds/equipment. I designed the box using Bass Box Pro 6, basic crossover design using basic calculators and some info from PCD."

No offense, but textbook calculators just don't cut it. I would get a kit like the one DH recommended, or one from Madisound, whether a Zaphaudio.com kit or otherwise. You'll get much more bang for your buck.

There is no "calculator method shortcut" that can replace proper measurements. If you can't afford the measuring equipment, why waste money on a shoot-in-the-dark design?

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
Presto
