Long story short, I had an enclosure that housed 1 12" sub, 2 6" mids, and 2 horn tweeters. Its primary and only use was during Mardi Gras. Well that time of the year is here again, however my enclosure has been misplaced.
I need to build another one quick and need to keep the budget down.
I run it off of a home stereo reciever and the last one I built used home stereo type crossovers but for the life of me I can't remember what type or model I used all I know is they came from Parts Express.
Hopefully someone with some knowledge of home audio speaker building can help me out here.
Here is what I have, the box is built, I have an MB Quart DVC 12" sub, 2 6" 8ohm Selenium mids, and 2 8ohm horn tweeters.
What I need is a cheap way of running a bandppass crossover to the 6's I was thinking of something in the 150-3k range, one for the sub to go from 150 down, and something to push the horns from 1500 or 2k up.
If it helps, these are the tweeters

These are the 6" mids

I am open to different x over points. I know there is a way to run capacitors and things like that inline to act as crossovers, I am just trying not to spend another $60 buying crossovers.
Any help or suggestions would be a big help.
