noob question about crossovers (alien.top)

hi,

i am looking to build my own speakers - Im currently leaning towards "Dinas" as I want monitor speakers with a boomy bass, but I am a little daunted by the crossover build.

before I buy the plans etc. is it possible just to buy an out the box ready to go crossover

something like this? what is the cons of using a preassembled xover

sorry If this has been covered before but I couldnt find any information on the same.

thanks

I agree with previous comments that crossover should be custom designed for the speaker you are interested in. IF you buy a kit from Madisound they can assemble the crossover for you. maybe you can pay somebody to assemble your Dina crossover? or maybe just practice some soldering on scrap wire for a little while until you gain confidence?
