Series resistance of 25 to 50 ohms works well for driver padding, in some cases. But this is for a series attenuator, and it really only works if the load is purely resistive. I suggest you use Spice to evaluate your particular configuration.The attenuator value chart you posted works very well in many cases and it is simple. But it is perhaps an oversimplification, and you would probably be better served to work from one of my existing crossover designs than to use this simplified chart. So check your E-Mail address because I've sent you the schematic for the π crossover. This circuit will do exactly what you want and provide the response curve you need.
