I wonder if anyone could help me.  Reached out to Aramis earlier as well.  I would be termed a beginner in the DIY stakes :)

I am looking to possibly build a Crossover for the Tannoy DC2000 Dual Concentric driver (HF tweeter and Bass) + Woofer and I need to source components.  This would form part of a project where  build cabinet etc. at a later date.

For now though I am looking to test the DC2000 drivers in a couple of cabinet configurations and instead of building new crossovers right now, I am able to modify Tannoy 611 crossovers I have gotten my hands on, where the crossover frequency is specced at 400 Hz - 2.5Khz compared to the DC2000 where the crossover frequency is specced at a similar 400 Hz - 2.3Khz.

So perhaps you can answer a couple of questions for me or give me some guidance:
1. I realise cabinet design and volume is also important, unless I am misreading it, I simply need to modify the HF crossover point to bring the 611 crossover to spec for the DC2000 driver? That is to 2.3 Khz?
2. If this is case, what do I need to swap out to to do my basic test for now.
3. Can you recommend which components I should then acquire to do this and where I can get them.

I have inserted a coupe of pictures below relative to the design and actual pictures for the DC1000/2000 crossovers and design specs of the 611 crossovers.  All gleaned off the net.  Can provide actual pics of the 611 Crossover if needs be.

I know I may being a little presumptuous here, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated :)
