i dun think DIYing a crossover would be a good idea since u can buy it at rm20 a piece from pasar road... unless u wanto cut at specific frequencies dat u want....

one difficulty in making a crossover is making de inductor coil... u need to get a solid wire(copper i think) with a correct thickness n coated with enamel and coil it in a number of coils for de right Henry value...

whoa...very 'chim' leh...

in simple terms; the more coils, the lower the frequency...

the thickness of the copper wire also will give effect.
price wise, better buy a complete set there (jln pasar). its cheap enough, save the hassle to make.. etc.

unless u wanna play2 lar.. diy it.
