Right the first time isn't going to happen. There is no rule of thumb that will work. Generically speaking you want to bandpass your mid with a HP that allows it to play as low as possible for the listening levels and music you listen to. If it ever sounds stressed you need to raise it. The LP on the mid is a bit trickier as underlap, overlap, or the same cross point can all work depending on your installation locations and personal preferences. Typically as a rule of thumb you want to figure out how low your tweeter can play the same as with the mid, but you have to be much more careful as it is very easy to blow the tweeter. Once you have those ranges then you have to figure out when/where they mix the best. This could take many, many hours. Time alignment generically is used to compensate for path length differences. How to use it will depend on where your speakers are mounted, but usually you take the furthest away and adjust the rest to match.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy this forum like I do.

It's 0.5ohm not volts. Before I stress the amp with .5ohm I'll have sufficient electrical to back it up. As for loving the icons, I own two already and they are phenomenal drivers. I have a build log with what I have so far, it's got pics so check it out. When the new build is here, I'll post more

IF all your doing is cutting a 36 x 18 board for example, How does that get screwed up on a panel saw? I have had them cut slightly off (.125 too short or long, but honestly nothing too bad I could not fix with sanding or some MDF and glue. It is easier to make cuts on a panel saw then a table saw, I just don't get it. Yall must have some tards at your local lowes. Oh, and the biggest reason I have them make cuts is I have nothing to haul a 49" x 96" sheet of MDF home in. lol If I have to cut something myself, I clamp a board or straight edge to the piece I am cutting as a guide for my skill saw. Easy.
