    But yeah, I'm with you. Ask the manufacturer because this is a little tricky to read!
    Nice...agreed. Forgot to add that bit about asking the manufacturer being a great idea.

    Just for a giggle...mate your avatar took me a while to figure out...I really thought it was something much more 'naughty' than what it was LMAO

    It's a voice coil in a wine glass, but I like your idea better already.
    Measure with mics, mark with chalk, cut with torch, grind to fit, sand to finish, paint to match.

    Do it for them.

    Not sure why i didn't ask them in the first place, assumed they'd just tell me to put it at whatever the stock crossover was at i guess. They got back to me relatively quick with this response.

    yes, we do not recommend to go below 1.600Hz (at least 12dB, better 24) but as such a low crossover point, you need to keep in mind that the power load of the tweeter also needs to be lowered. In case you like it quite loud, a higher highpass filter at around 2.500Hz would be more appropriate.
