Looks Nice, they are special with the woofers on the sides. What do you mean by "with a passive XO you are looking for woofer sensitivity about 3dB more than the midTweeter"?. Right now my tweeter is lovered to -7db compared to midwoofer,- that is on my DSP. Do you say that this is not the same as I should expect when i should dimension my passive XO?. /PerThese:
With a passive XO you are looking for woofer sensitivity about 3dB more than the midTweeter.

Yes, typically one wants 3dB more than than the midTweeter to acoid having to pad the top. You cannot pad the LF. If you have DSP then you do not have a passive system.

I know. I only use the dsp to “run in” the speakers and to find x-over point and the level of tweeter and midbass. Then I have these figures to calculate the passive x-over. Nice Tool to get an idea how the speakers Sound and approx. Where I Will have the x value before start buildning the filter /Per
If that is the case you need more sensitive tweeters or woofers that are less sensitive. Wiring the woofers in series instead of parallel would drop the difference to 1dB. You can pad the tweeter.

I'm not sure what you mean by "pad the tweeters, could you plc. specify that. Woofers are in series because they are 4 ohm woofers. /Per
Padding a tweeter usually involves a series resistor or an L-Pad to lower the output of the driver.
