    Simplest Way to Crossover for a Passive Sub

    Let the mains roll off naturally. They don't dig very deep. Try a large value mH iron core (cheap) inductor on the sub, say 16mH. You can buy several lower value coils, so you can adjust total value by ear. Say a 1mH + 2 x 2 mH + 4 mH + 7mH. Prolly $40ish Look up the 1st order xo calculators...

    Fine German Craftsmanship

    The very straight grain and long vertical bands of color indicate mahogany to me. It's a very common veneer; reasonable cost, easy to work with and easy to stain.

    Old Klipsch Heresys, empty, forlorn, a project and a half.

    Empty cabs are the worst starting point to a speaker project, IMO.

    L-Pad calculator

    Use the tweeter's 6 ohm value for your calcs. Your calcs should end up with about a 1 to 2 ohm resistor in line, and around 20 ohm resistor to shunt.

    My remedial soldering practice was an Elenco radio kit. The instructions were superb, and had regular test check points along the way to ensure correct soldering.

    Speaker build from unknown crossovers..?

    You mean; after selecting and buying 4 drivers, designing the cabinet, buying materials and building 2 cabinets with bracing and damping, wiring them up, testing for correct polarity... THEN the speakers can be hooked up and listened to, with results; gawdonlyknows.

    Advent Heritage Crossover Question

    I'd go with parallel to reach the 6 uF, but I doubt 6.2 uF would be fine. I use both Solen and Audyn caps. I think they are good quality at reasonable cost. Not a tube amp guy so the 4 ohm connection choice is only a guess.

    Frequency analysis apps

    When you get your mic and test using a frequency sweep tone (use the RTA feature), I think you'll see a very different response curve.
