Just throwin together a couple bookshelf speakers to stuff in the wall for my garage.
Dayton DA175 8ohm woofer Dayton Audio DA175-8 7" Aluminum Cone Woofer
Dayton DC28FS 8ohm silk dome tweeter http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-dc28fs-8-1-1-8-silk-dome-shielded-tweeter--275-075
Can someone design me a quick passive crossover for use in these enlosures? (about .44 ft3 and they are ported in the back. )
not lookin to spend a whole lot on components,(2nd order or whatnot would be great
) Just lookin for some some decent sound while I turn some wrenches
Let me know thanks guys !

The enclosures are 8.75'' wide 13.25'' tall 8.5'' deep.
They are old aiwa bookshelf enclosures, How would I find the tuning frequency? Just measure the port diameter and length?
I am literally just shoving these in the wall.....Should I seal off the port?
I will get the driver locations on the baffle...

Ok. If the port is in the rear, you may as well run them as sealed. Are they going on the wall or mounted flush with the wall? This will effect the amount of baffle step incorporated into the crossover. Don't bother with the premade units. They have zero compensation for anything.
here's a couple of designs using non-shielded tweeter

Don't know the differences between the tweeters but should be a good starting point.

I see some car amplifiers, etc.
Do you have 4 channels to work with?

Going active, you won't have to deal with speaker impedance rise
Also, no the ports won't work against the wall, but the good news is you have a drill press and can build new boxes and cut cool circles with one of these:

Best to keep drivers flush btw, especially the tweeter.

Hey sorry, the Tweeter is 10.5'' from the center to the bottom of the enclosure.
The woofers is 4.5''
If they are truly in-wall, this:
Dayton Audio XO2W-2.5K 2-Way Speaker Crossover 2,500 Hz
will work, but you will want a zobel on the woofer and a resonant peak filter on the tweeter and perhaps some padding.

i am currently running it 2 way active. I recently discovered my amp only has 1 good channel
I have another amp thats a 2 channel that I want to use.....so I'll need a passive xover
I'm assuming the crossover I need will be slightly different because my speakers are going to be mounted halfway in the wall?
