First time crossover build… help/advice needed

Please look at what I am planning and provide thoughts/advice/feedback...TIA! Please be gentle as this is my first crack at this not using kits.

I am building a ported MT bookshelf speaker with the following drivers:

Dynavox LW6004HR-N 6-1/2" Honeycomb Cone Woofer
6 ohm
87.92 db sensitivity
50 to 4000hz

Dynavox TD2801XL 1-1/8" Silk Dome Tweeter
8 ohm
92 db sensitivity
2000 to 22,000hz

I used a calculator for a 2-way 2nd order Linkwitz Riley crossover, xo @ 3,000hz. I also used a l-pad calculator for tweeter attenuation and added resistors after the crossover...does this look right to you guys?

Based on vendor specs I will be building roughly a 0.63 ft3 ported cabinet.

One next step (or better: the first step) would be to simulate or measure drivers on the baffle.
Crossover calculators usually don't include that.
(they also do not consider changing/raising impedance of drivers, by the way - that's why simulating, as you seem to do, is so much more sensible!)

Here is a baffle simulator tool: http://www.tolvan.com/index.php?page=/edge/edge.php
