Is someone able to help me please.
I want to build a 3 way speaker with SBA drivers, so thats its not too big I want to use the SB23NRXS45-8 as the bass unit with a suitable SBA mid and HF unit.
I want to build it as a bass reflex of about 40 to 45 litres and it will be right up close to the back wall so assume I do not need baffle step.
I want to make it 10.0 inches wide and I dont want a slanted or stepped baffle like TG designs.
The width and flat baffle are for for WAF.
I found the following crossover and pictures in a thread called 3way Discovery or ... by akarma 76.
The crossover and pictures are by LineSource.
Is this crossover suitable for my needs or are there ways it can be improved.

It's probably OK as a starting point. Do you plan to find drivers that are very similar? Are you not going to measure? Are you comfortable with a simulator?
I was thinking of using the exactly the same drivers as shown on the crossover design and originally picked by akarma 76 although he did change his mind about the hf unit later.
Thanks Allen B for looking at my post.
Forgot to say that I don't have measuring equipment also whilst the speakers will be up close against the back wall they are about 1.9 metres from room corners.
Underneath some of the drivers on the crossover scheme there are some blue numbers and I am not sure what they represent. One of the drivers as an off set I assume this means it's offset from the centre line.

Ok then if it works for LineSource, what makes you think it won't work for you.. is it the distance from the back wall or something else?
Using the crossover to compensate the position in the room is rarely simple. These speakers aren't made to fit into a corner and there will be troublesome modes.
Do you use EQ? You could tune the baffle transition with a step filter or a bass control.
