Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed

How to Hook Up Vandersteen 2W Subwoofer
The WX-2 crossover boxes that come with the Vandy sub have junk capacitors in them. Richard V. told me he gets those caps almost free. The WX-2 is for set-up purposes only.

If you know the input impedance of your amp, you can get a quality pair of X-2 crossovers from Vandersteen for about $150.
