Off the shelf crossovers are generally not recommended. They are not at all custom to the components your using and the end product would likely sound horrible. The options are, buy a kit and assemble, copy someone else’s tested and tried design, or invest the time and money in starting from scratch, carefully selecting components to see if they would be a good fit, taking accurate measurements etc.
 
ok thanks ,time an money sounds like the better path it will just take a moment for that,

also do you know if the soundeasy 24 software can be used to design a 3-way crossover with

48DB OCTAVE SLOPES an 8db attenuations an do you know if its driver database includes the

mentioned drivers

id need to know the details before i plug the trigger on such a buy
 
I am not an expert on this, what are you trying to achieve and what is their intended use? It really is not a simple task at all.
 
I'm guessing you are spending significant money on this project... seems to me that you should get the supplier's advice... and better still get them to make it. Crossovers that use indictors and capacitors tend to be designed for the speaker+cabinet, since the mounting affects the response....e.g. sealed or reflex.
As you are asking, I'm guessing you won't have any test-gear( to measure the results.)..which rather makes the whole exercise likely to waste your time.... Better, IMHO to buy a set of speakers where all these compromises/design options are sorted..

+Hope that is some help...
