Since I have two separate sets of 8 inch woofers, I would consider incorporating them into a three way passive system (8's in external enclosures). Using multiple amplifiers plus a crossover is overkill for this speaker.

You can do much better than the prebuilt ones that PE sells. For the tweeter get a good cap, not Dayton or Solen. This will make the biggest difference in sound.

I disagree on the caps. I used Dayton audio in the eggs and people at the show who heard them were impressed. Remember when we did the blind test on speaker caps at Davids and no one could hear the difference between the so called crappy Russian caps and the golden standards.
