To fit in the rear of my touring. I've got upgraded standard 10cm speakers with bass filters attached and a small pair of pioneer tweeters (from a set of components).

Where can I buy a pair if crossovers to match the two sets together?
Does any old 2 way crossover do it?

Nice and cheap too would be nice.

Cheers for any advice,
Toby

This is the cheapest I've found but not sure if it is exactly the right thing for the speakers/tweeters I have:

i have focal components in the front of mine, work well imo, the tweeter output can be changed two or three settings in the crossover
if there wern't people like me,
with cars like mine,

You could go active and set whatever crossover frequency you like
I've even got 2 spare active crossovers here

Might have some passives kicking about as well

if you know what ohm rating your speakers are and at what kind of frequency you want them to cross over at you could always make your own, nothing more than coils and capacitors see the link below

but to be honest I'd go with the focals you pointed out should do the job just fine, saves messing around and look nice too.
