Hello,
I've been pondering this problem for some time and have been doing quite a bit of Google searching and am getting pretty frustrated because I think
Situation
I have two pairs of stereo speakers, both Infinity bookshelves, each 2-way. They are both part of the same series, the recently replaced Alpha series and are the A10s and A20s respectively. One set of speakers has larger woofers than the other. I also have a stereo receiver... an Onkyo TX-8511. I would like to make it so that the smaller speakers handle the upper and mid ranges, and have the larger pair handle the bass. Effectively creating a 3 way system. The A20s are bi-ampable and the A10s are not.

Question:
I've been looking for a pair of 2 way passive crossovers with a crossover frequency that is probably between 250-500Hz. I am also looking to get them as cheaply as possible. I was looking on eBay for crossovers and very few state the crossover frequency. Most of them have info on what the resitors' specs are, but I have absolutely no knowledge about what any of this means.

Any help would be appreciated!
