I'm guessing it's the 7" aluminum midbass driver.
The tweeter might not match up to well as the woofer is really a good sounding driver;

Read Krutke's tweeter mismash to get a good idea on low cost, high quality tweeters;

You'll probably have to go to Madisound to get them tweeters & they also have really good prices on crossovers;

well actually it would be the 5 1/4 driver because i dont really want to build kicks as i have never fb'd anything before and that driver will fit in my door.

I had that very driver coupled with the Peerless 811435: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&PartNumber=277-402&DID=7

Simple 12db passive xo's, normal 80hz high pass from the amp and it sounded ok IMO.

The alum 5.25 though needs some type of enclosure behind it, not meant for indoor ib.
 
ok then this will be my setup: 1 RE 12" sub in 1.5ft3 tuned to 32 hz lp set at 60hz 12db slope, dayton aluminim cone woofer in stock door location bandpassed 70-2,000hz 12 db slope, tweeter in a pillar hp set at 2500hz 12db slope. does this sound alright to you guys or is there anything i should change (besides crossover points because i know im gonna have to adjust to get the best sound)?

Sounds like you've got all the functionality for filtering, just a matter of adjusting to taste. Respectable drivers don't hurt either. Have fun.
