First Post. Need help with 3 way set up

[Oklahoma Pilot]

Hello to all and happy new years!

I have been around building car audio setups for quite some time but when it comes to home audio its a whole different ball game to me. It looks simple enough but yet there is allot to do and plan out.

I have gone ahead and decided to build my own 3 way bookshelf speaker set up. So far I have purchased this:

I really need your input on box design and especially 3 way cross over design. Please let me know what you think. Will be grateful for your help. Thanks!

taking a quick look at the graphs, I'd use xover freqs around 800Hz & 3000Hz
the woofer is 3db less sensitive than the mid, so either the mids/tweeter will need padding or (my preference) use two woofers/ side - but then it wouldn't be a bookshelf...

Send the mid back for credit and build a 2-way! The Morel mid is a pain to work with. The woofer and tweeter look like they could easily be crossed at 2.5k or so.
