I hope that you will find these article from the former Linkwitz Lab helpful.

I will also strongly encourage you to consider a ready built box from Weilliang Audio. You can specify the crossover frequency when you order. This one is head and shoulder above other Chinese offers. I replaced the 5532 IC with LME49720 genuine product. The result is excellent.

How steep do you need the XO? If 1st order you might get away with a PLLXO, which is both cheap and adds no "electronic haze” (but at the expense of versatility). What drivers are you using?

And do note that a basic active XO does not usually deal with specific driver issues that a passive often solves.
