No problem, I am just at the beginning of the learning curve, too.
I almost jumped right in, but then came to the mindset that it's best to back off any initial plans, digest all the information on speaker/array design, then pick parts to maximize performance within personal limitations(financial, building skill, time, etc.)
As Eric J has said, and Rod Elliott stresses on the ESP website, it is probably more effective, cheaper or equal in cost, and just plain better to go with active crossover and two or 3-way amping. That will help negate many of power loss/impedance/efficiency/non-linearity/etc. problems in passive crossovers.
