Im not sure if anyone else will find this useful, but I know I spent alot of time trying to find this. After all, who wants to buy a crossover for a ton of cash when you can buy the parts for 5-10 bucks.
Sorry about the size of the pictures, if you save them and open them on your computer, they appear alot better.

You're exactly right! I found out through my adventures in "home DIY audio", you can build very high quality x-overs for a fraction of pre-made ones.

Another thing I found out is that if you take the time to fiddle with component values, you can usually make it better sounding than using straight "textbook" crossover component values.

Capacitors, inductors, something to mount 'em in, stuff like that.

There are various charts, spreadsheets & programs on the 'net that show you which parts you need.
