Ideally, you'd equip yourself and be able to do some basic
measurements.

Indeed. I'm trying to find downloads of any good freeware that I can
use.

I'll comment in more detail later if I get a chance. But you should be able
to find various freeware around. If you use Linux (or RISC OS) you can use
some of the programs on http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/software/index.html
to do things like create test files/audio CDs and analyse the results in
various ways. However I suspect the main challenge will be carrying out
suitable measurements to get the data needed to decide what kind of
crossover may be useful.

FWIW I've never bothered to make or mod my own speakers. I've always
regarded it as being too much bother as it can be very hard to reach a good
result. Although I've designed or fiddled with much of the electronics in
my audio systems, I tend to leave speakers to the professionals as I regard
that as the 'hard part' of home audio. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
