It's hard to say what crossover to use without knowing more regarding dimensions, spacing, etc. But if this is for super-tweeter "air", you might go with a 2.2uF to 4.7uF series capacitor and see how that sounds. Put a 12Ω to 16Ω shunt resistor across the tweeter for additional damping. If it's too bright, put a series resistor between 4Ω and 8Ω, and if you add series resistance, drop the shunt resistance some too, maybe to 8Ω or so. You'll need more damping if you add series resistance, which will also serve to pad it down more.
