I need some help as I get confused at what to look at wrt speaker driver.

I want to build a new set of rear speakers for a first attempt at normal speaker building (I have made a active sub woofer). I want a 2 way bookshelf size to hang on the wall. Bass won't need to be tremendously low as the SUB does duty there. I had a look at the Visaton WS-17E 6,5" driver and looks like it will do the midrange admirably. Then looked at the Visaton SC-5 tweeter and also will do high frequencies good. But how do I know they will complement each other? Must the crossover sort that one out or the box? What do you look at in the specs and what do you use to know that it will work?

Or is this just thumb suck and hope for the best...  :nfi:
