Well guy's next on the list is building her a front stage.
Here's what it will consist of

*dayton 6.5 mids

*Diamond audio tweeters

My question is what crossovers should i run for that setup?

Well see if you can find any specs of the tweets and the mids, that will really help to determine what crossovers would work best, otherwise its pretty much hit or miss. Or find a set of comps that resembles the mids you got in specs and pick up a set of those crossovers.

Its really all driver depend since the crossovers are going to determine the freq's the mid and tweet will see.

yeah i gotcha mikey or gonna see maybe if can trade off those dayton's when i get em for a decent comp set.

Heres some other ones

Its going to depend on where you want the mids and tweets crossed....how high the mids will play, and how low the tweets will play.

Yeah your best bet would be to find a complete set of comps so you dont have to worry about getting a set of crossovers that arent going to be adequate.

If you do find an upholstery shop that has it dont pay moe than $5-7 a yard, otherwise i would just order it online. Partsexpress has a decent selection as well as some other places i can dig up links if you need em, my local store wanted 14 a yard for light grey i told them to lick my nuts

I didnt see if you answered, but maybe its just the pic but the plexi does not look flush, if you have a router you can use a rabbet bit and it will finish out very clean

also i see you used the cardboard method for getting the false floor shape, i used to do that but it was never really accurate enough for me and too much work.

Now i use a flexible ruler meant for sewing, its 64" long and is a stiff kinda rubber thats well flexible, you just bend it around the shapes you need and have a perfect mold you could say.
