ok here for your review is my first pass at this xover for the following drivers.................

Tweeter = http://www.partsexpress.com/pdf/277-030s.pdf
Woofer = http://www.partsexpress.com/pdf/297-364.pdf

it is a 4th order LR and the xover freq is at 1800hz. it also has a zobel on the mid and 3db of attenuation on the tweet. According to the specs the tweet is 3.5 db more efficient than the woofer is. I am still relativly new with xovers so I would love to hear some comments or suggestions because I am very eager to learn more. Thanks for taking a look!!!

The first thing to do when designing a crossover is to measure your woofer response in the completed enclosure. You've got the crossover designed apparantly before the box is built. The driver specs are important when arriving at a crossover design but the cabinet is just as important. Build the box first, and then build the crossover to make it work the way you want it to.
