The calculation
Lwoofer = Rwoofer / (2πfc) Ctweeter = 1 / (2πfc × Rtweeter) L in H; C in F
Assumptions & limits
Assumes resistive loads, ideal components and zero source impedance. Electrical slopes do not include the drivers’ acoustic responses. Measure the complete loudspeaker before choosing final parts.
