[QUOTE="envengineer, post: 3031672, member: 571710"] I agree for the most part. When you set the crossovers for the mid/tweet transition, it's probably a good idea to leave a gap since the crossovers points are not brick walls, but slopes. You have to look at the individual drivers to know where the crossover points should be. I cross my tweeters around 2.4khz and my mids are crossed around 1.8 khz down to my midbass at 200 hz. The "forget about rearfill" comment is correct. You don't need it. It's obviously up to you, but I hate the way it pulls back the stage that I work so hard to move forward. Don't push that DIYMA too hard if it is going to be in a very small box. They are not designed for high output (even though they are capable). The motor has been shown to be a little too strong for the cone when placed in small enclosures that result in the cone buckling or tearing due to high pressure. Just be smart with the DIYMA and it will perform very very well. [/QUOTE]
