For a 15/6/1, there are three separate boards:
- a low-pass for the woofer
- a high-pass for the midrange
- a high-pass for the tweeter
The parts are all available at Speaker Hardware in the fEARful section.

Eh. The crossover isn't that tough...
...Then you'll feel even better when you go to stuff that clean box.
I always feel good about myself after stuffing a clean box....
Yes... but you need all three boards. The link shows only the tweeter high-pass circuit.
Add this one (which contains the other two boards): [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
BTW, if you have a soldering iron, they are actually quite simple to build.
If you look back in the early fEARful threads, you'll find people who built them in their kitchen with minimal tools.

I didn't do my woodwork, because I have no tools and there were no kits at the time.
I have a 3 bedroom flat, and worked on my front porch and livingroom. I later Duratexed upstairs in my attic, and used a laundry basket as a stand to be able to do the edges (face down baffle to basket). I assembled all the crossover stuff either on my coffee table in the livingroom or at my computer desk with the keyboard pushed back. The board for my crossovers came from a piece of scrap wood I stole off the loading dock at work. The only 'power tools' I own are a drill, a hot glue gun and a soldering iron.

I'm buying one soon. I need to repair some cables. If you think it's easy I might take that on as well
Soldering is a skill that pays off quickly for anyone who plays an electric/electronic instrument. Not being able to solder is like not being able to change your own strings.

knowing how to do something and being good at it are two different thinks my friend.
The only difference between the two things is practice.
Quick Question: which of these two diagrams / cut lists is for the vertical 15/6?

I too labored over that decision. I went with the straight 15/6. According to GB, unless you play a lot of slap, you really don't need a tweeter. I don't, and I am pleased as punch with the 15/6 two-way cab. More than enough highs for growl, clank, grind, etc.
I was too busy to think about the crossover and I ordered a pre-built one from one of the authorized builders. It was nice not to have to worry about that part of the build.
