Ok, I ordered everything I need to try out a low pass filter on the oem B&W midranges. I'm going to start with the D-Pillar locations and compare the sound of one with LPF and one without. I ordered 4 different LPF (6000, 5000, 3500, 2500), tweeter splitter off ebay, and oem connectors. After the fact I realized the splitter has a long lead time (Jan-Mar!), maybe it arrives sooner, but I ordered enough connectors to build my own splitter (just more expensive). I also got a micro crimper, dynamat, and acoustic foam. When my filtered B&W tweeter arrives I'll try to measure the capacitance to see if I can calculate a XO point...more later.

I don't doubt RL18 xo point at 4500, I just want to see if I can hear the difference since the LPF's are not too expensive.

Disclaimer: I'm not an audiophile, so my reporting will be FWIW.
