IIRC, there is only one crossover shown in the plans. It's there for a specific reason. If you think you can't build it, then by all means have Leland from Speaker Hardware build one for you.

What is IIRC? I looked at the plans and am just kind of confused by what I should use with the 6 , 8 driver setup. I can solder a crossover as I have done this before. Maybe I just need to sit down with the plans and spend some more time thinking about it. Did you mean there was only one crossover design? I see the design I just didn't know the component values for the drivers I am using. I am pretty new to speaker building and don't fully understand crossovers yet.

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly

You need to read the plans again and again until you fully understand them, and remove all confusion.

I don't believe there is an 8 tweeter option.

Hmm, well Natesmitguitar shows 8 tweeters, I can easily bump up to 9 as I have the tweeters and drilling the hole takes 10 seconds and routing is easy too. the only hard thing would be to add more drivers since I couldn't round over the back. I have a thread started about the build maybe I should start posting in there. I was hoping the creator of this one would be able to give me some input and maybe he still will. Thanks

His father and co-builder is forum member and authorized builder "Tom Smit". Try shooting him a PM for answers.

+1 to all.
