I'm wanting to build the 3 way speakers that I will add to my system. My question is with tuning frequency(s). I have a sub already and ideally it would handle anything 100hz and lower and the woofer in the 3 way would pick up from there. So i guess my question is, do I tune the woofers enclosure for 100 hz or to where I want the mid range to pick up. I hope that makes sense. I've never built anything but sub enclosures. This is a whole new thing for me and I'll probably have more questions as the design progresses. Thanks for reading
Power Handling (RMS) 80 Watts
Power Handling (MAX) 160 Watts
Impedance 4Ω
Frequency Response 35 to 2,300Hz
Sensitivity 91dB 2.83V/1m
*Ive since decided to go with a sealed cabinet but I'll leave the post for the next person to find the answer they are looking for and I'm still curious
After choosing how big the box is I always tune the reflex port to 25 /35 hertz, depending of the diameter of the port which should not be too small.
Together with close to wall or even corner placement you get a more powerful bass due to reinforcement from the room boundaries. Also called "horn effect".
example for corner placement.

If you want to limit woofer from 100Hz up, you can either use passive crossover, simplest would be first order upper path with just one capacitor, or you limit the box volume. For 100Hz and up it will be small closed box (called satelite).
As for crossover points for midrange, it depends on many factors, mainly on axis and of axis response. You are not providing enough info.
