[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 2516744, member: 554493"] BTW, these cones are going to be flush mounted, don't get the wrong idea from the model...it's just a mockup [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Also, theoretically, wouldn't having the speakers randomly scattered horizontally provide a better sound? I know that you can cut down on diffraction by having them off center (note what I did with the tweeter, although that's the least important driver for this topic [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] ), but what about a diagonal line across? Considering that the baffle is only 7.5" wide and I'm not going to round the outside edges (I've never noticed a difference anyway), I'm not too concerned.
