custom crossover for 2 way

Hello,

I have a pair of Mpyre 65m XBL^2 drivers. (Very similar to Adire extremis)   The tweeters I have to use are Focal TN-51's.  

I have tried to factory MPyre crossover, and the tweeter was way too loud, and the x/o lacked atten.   So I tried the Elemental Designs x/o from the 6000s, and the same problem (only sligfht attenuation -3 db).

Can I put an L-pad inline with the Mpyre x/o?  If not can someone show me what I need to do to build my own crossover to make them sound awesome, or should I pick up an AudioControl DQX (Already have DQT though)

Also any recc's on the firing of them?  On/off axis?   They will be in custom  fiberglass kick panels made by me.

I can't find definate numbers on either anymore, however, when I started this project earlier in the summer I saw it, and I believe they were both approx. 4 ohms,  one may have been 3.4 ohm,   is that close enough?

Yes, that's close enough so that the crossover should be functioning at the same frequency.  So now we're back to the Focal needing to be damped at least 5db and the fact that metal domes are just naturally very bright sounding - which, by the way, is one reason why I have always disliked the sound of Focal systems.  So get a 4-ohm L-pad and give it a try.  Connect it between the tweeter output from the crossover and the tweeter.

I've searched through parts xpress and a few other sites and done some searching, and have not been able to find a 4 ohm L pad.   I found an 8 ohm pro audio one on ebay.....that won't do me anygood though.    Any ideas where to get one?

Do I need two, or just one?   How should it be wired (more in depth than parallel, like soldered, where to, etc...)  Is there an instruction manual?

How should I fiire the speakers, on.off axis?

You need one of the stereo L-pads for right and one for left.  No, there will probably not be an instruction manual.  You should aim your speakers on-axis to the primary listening location if you can.  Here's how to wire the L-pads:

Each pad will have three terminals.  (A stereo l-pad is actually two pads connected to the same shaft.)  Connect the furthest left and right terminals on both pads in one stereo set to the tweeter output of the crossover, negative to one side and positive to the other side.  Continue the negative wire to the tweeter.  Connect the positive wire from the tweeter to both center tap terminals on the L-pads.  Now you can use the L-pad to adjust the volume going to the tweeter.  If you don't understand this, you may want to get some help from an installer in your area.
