I live in Dayton, Ohio and I buy parts from Parts Express all the time. 
The drivers they offer are good quality, I am partial to Pyle, and are
priced way below retail.  I have never used one of their crossovers, but I
have seen them up close and they are very well made.  They are great about
returns so if you have a speaker and use it for 15 days and don't like the
way it sounds you can return it for a full refund as long as the terminals
have not been soldered.  After 15 days you have 90 days to exchange the 
speaker.  You may also want to take a look at MCM electronincs in Dayton, Ohio,
they sell pretty much the same stuff so both tend to keep each others prices
low.  MCM sells more Plye products, including auto amplifiers at great prices.
