if you want a general, general, GENERAL range just for some kind of indication, here's what I figure:

Tweeter- 3500 and up

midrange- 300 to 3500

midbass- 65-300

subwoofer- 65 and down.

The tweeter and midrange will generally vary the most. If you use a horn for the highs, some of them can do 1,500-2000 and up, then your midrange will play below that. Some tweeters don't like to play below 4,000 hz. Some mids don't like to play above 2,500, others can't keep up below 100 for midbass duty if just doing a 2-way. Just for some examples of the variability.

Good starting points, but to me sub should be lower. More like 40hz or lower if possible. Part of the reason being the lower you can get your sub crossed over the easier it will be for you to get the mystical and much sought after "up front" bass

since you set your subs @ 40hz where do you set your ss filter?

Depends if I'm using one or not. Don't use it most of the time.

I don't disagree. I've never tried 40 hz, that seems way low for me, haha. and I don't know that my 6.5" XR mids would like to play below 70 hz or so with much authority. But I did notice a big difference in lowering my sub's crossover from 80 to 65. blends soooo much better.
