Ezmeralda, Jeffrey -- thanks for the the clarification on the slope values. My memory doesn't seem to work quite as well as it once did ;-) Next time I'll confirm before I post.
Expanding just a bit on Marakanetz's response, the slope is the decrease in signal strength per octave. So a first order cross-over has a slope of -3db and it goes up from there -- second is -6, third is -12, fourth is -24. The decrease begins at a certain frequency and keeps on going from there depending on the specifics of the cross-over.
