Thanks Stanislav and Wilbur-x. Looks like I have a way forward!
Wilbur your speakers look great!

Sorry no (we sell them on hobby basis). But for your start: Take a look at Troels OBL-15 and the tweeter circuit. Choose a coil for the woofer to match. Listen and tweak it from there.
After following this thread for a while I decided to pull the trigger and buy a set of Seas A26 and T35 drivers. I designed and built a cabinet which measures around 72 liters in volume and have to the best of my abilities soldered together the parts for the Håvard crossover.
The reason I am writing is to ask if you guys would be so kind as to look at the image below of the assembled crossover and let me know if it looks correct. This is my firs self assembled crossover so I just want to make sure before I hook it up to my amp.

Desolder the cap from - speaker terminal.
Desolder the + of the tweeter from the speaker terminal +
Solder the cap out to the + of the the wire going to the tweeter.
Desolder the + of the woofer from speaker terminal
Desolder the coil from the - of the speaker terminal
Take the leg of the coil you just desoldered and solder it to the plus of the woofer

Be careful. Before connecting the amplifier, check the speakers and cables with an ohmmeter for short circuit. Place a 4.7 to 8.2 ohm 10W resistor on the plus output of the test amplifier. If everything works as it should, remove the resistors and connect directly.

Series yes.
Connect LRC in series. Woofer+ connected to tweeter minus. Tweeter is shorten by the coil.
Only woofers minus and capacitor goes to ground.
The picture in the post #486 looks a bit like that, but the coil is between plus and minus and that's a short circuit. All that should be placed on a plate (wood, plastic) , fixed and connected nicely according to the schematic, and not so that it floats in the air.
