    Another Crossover This one has a little more informed crossover point.  I ended up with 1800Hz LR4.  Hopefully this will be low enough to attenuate the peak in 3rd harmonic on the woofer (centered @ 1600) as well as get rid of most of the weird peak in high order harmonics in the tweeter around 2k.
