I use polypropylene film and metal foil caps and non inductive resistors. I also use air core coils when I can, but some of the larger coils are laminates. Those Erse coils are nice, Jantzen's are good for smaller values. Solen caps will work just fine.

To make things easy, you can use the Eminence PX-BII1K6 crossover as a base unit, and build a cable assembly including R1, R2 and C1 for the tweeter, and another with R3 and C5 for the woofer.

Take care!
