I'd go with a 5.1uFd for the cap. Since the tolerances of Solen caps for instance are 5% that means you will get somewhere between 4.85 and 5.36 uFd. I've built zillions (well maybe only billions) of crossovers and anything within that range will work fine. You can mess with inductors but remember, you have to replace existing inductors with inductors of equal resistance as well as equal inductance. I'd also see if you have cheapo resistors that could be replaced with 10W non-inductive types. The components you would need are available from Madisound (www.madisound.com) or Parts Express (www.partsexpress.com). Both have good prices and terrific service.
