crossovers

I find that electronic crossovers often have more coloration than passive ones, assuming both are properly designed.

Passive crossovers might seem to rob the speaker of a certain immediacy at lower volumes, but at higher volumes (and not that much higher) they allow the speaker to be smoother and more transparent.

No worries at all that the Onken bass can go that high. It can go much higher. 500Hz is an easy crossover point that allows the coloration of caps in the crossover to be minimal while also keeping all the drivers well within comfortable limits. One thing that arises out of this is that since the bass unit is going that high, there's no need for a larger main driver and the addending slower speed that the larger cones tend to have. So you could run a 6" unit and have a faster more involving midrange.
