PG Xenon Xover Specs

Does anyone have or know the crossover slopes of the Xenon components?
Or possibly some specs for the Xenon tweeters?

I have been trying to backward engineer the Xover for a pair of Xenon 6.5's to find their original crossover setting & slope, but its too complex for me to figure out & looks nothing like the typical calculators Ive found online.
Here is what I have uncovered.

This is the overall circuit for the tweeter from the main Xover input. I have eliminated the phase switch, "A-pillar" switch, and HF Boost switch circuits, because with them off this is what the full path through the crossover looks like for the tweeter.

I figure its about 4kHz and the slope 12dB/oct. The actual slope depends on many variables unknown here so this is just a rough estimate. Component speakers usually have a crossover point around 3-5kHz with 12dB/oct slope so the xenon seems quite normal.

Whats unusual is the RLC-circuit in the middle which is used to attenuate a certain frequency. The tweeter might have a hump in its frequency response which needs addressing.

Here's the manual for the Xenon comps, but if that doesn't give ya the info you need, PM Morgan (MW3) as he may have what ur lookin' for.

I've actually got a couple original manuals, but the specs listed are for the woofers only.
