I'd be very grateful if you were to give me some pointers. I'm about to
start building my own speakers from the best drivers out of maybe five older
pairs (bit of a mix'n'match) and would love to know more about sussing out
T/SPs and XO building using the computer.

TIA,

Get hold of Vance Dickason's "Loudspeaker Design cookbook". You can
download a PDF of it readily enough, then if it suits, buy the real

Thiel-Small parameters are covered quite well. You can put the

covered there too.

Read and understand before you start cutting MDF, though.
