New guy happy to be here. I am making a project speaker using an older monitor sl2000 tweeter left over from upgrades and a PE 6.5 classic woofer 8 ohm. I just cannot seem to fing the old crossover levels on line anywhere. The classic woofer tops out on the spec sheet at 4000hz. But where does the sl2000 bottom out? See what I am getting at? Where did the old polk monitor 7 6.5" woofer top out at? I know there are a million variations but I just need a useful range for developing or adapting a crossover. The project I am working on will most likely use a 8" polk passive radiator if that changes anything. HELP!!!

Hello,
Welcome to Polk's forum. If you look at an original Monitor 7's schematic the second order high pass filter will result in a crossover frequency of 3kHz.
Good luck on your project.

Thank you Kenneth I was glad to get a response. I know it is a general question but it helped me a lot. I am making somewhat of a set of monitor 7's that is long and goes along the top of a wall where it meets the ceiling and faces down at an angle. It is for the wife's dressing room. The total length is 57 inches. Should be interesting.Dining Room:
