the Nephila was actually my build attempt which I eventually abounded
i was told ribbons tend to have problematic impedance and i should be be extra careful when making crossover so i wont fry my amp.
i got a speaker that i took the tweeter from, and i can play around with the RT5002 with it, i need to know which FR should i cross and if i should be some kind of low pass or something with it before i start playing around with it.
in door measure of the speaker, without tweeters ofc :

Whomever told you that was likely speaking of true-ribbon tweeters, which are near a dead-short at lower frequencies due to the transformer and how it works. The RT5002 is an AMT and has no transformer, so it's basically a resistive load.
What do you mean you abounded it? Attempted and never completed? Or messed it up in the process? Can I help in any way?

I would not think 1st order would protect the AMT as much as required unless used at a much higher cutoff frequency. The RT5002 really is only good to about 3.3-3.5kHz range before it rolls off, and it has a peak in it's FR at about 15kHz before it rolls off again on the top. However, it does have enough sensitivity to fix these attributes a smidge and keep it and you happy.
I included the xover for the Nephila in the case it will help you.
