So all in all I think this recommendation from Wayne is an excellent one and worth trying. Going to rummage thru my caps and see if I should build or buy.

btw.. what are the critical components in the pi two way crossover?
would it be worthwhile to put some paper in oils someplace ( have an assorment ) how about some heavy awq guage inductors (also have some of them or could trade for some).

Thanks.
