Use Q-Logic kickpanels, they make them to fit either 5 1/4" mids & tweeters, or 6 1/2" mids & tweeters.

Heres the 6 1/2" version, same dealer has the other size as well.

Ive been eyeing some CSS (Creative Sound Solutions). They seem to have some great looking products with the XBL^2 technology:

Madisound also just had a blowout sale on Aura Speakers. You could have grabbed a set of Aura Sound 4" full ranges for like $12 a piece.

I almost grabbed a Aura Sound NS12" instead of my Evo TC2+, but by time I found those deals they were already sold out and arent getting any more in.

Now I am assuming you are using 2 ch. for subs, and 2 ch for mids and highs. Something like this would work.

I personally would lean towards the second one as the xover points are better suited fot the 3" dome mid.

cool thanks kent! seems like i will use the second one

how will the boston pro 60 6.5, the mids u recommended, and pro60 tweets in that crossover //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

welcome!

I haven't used the BA Pro 60's so honestly I couldn't say 100%. I am sure it would be a good combo. I will say this, one of the advantages of a 3 way is utilizing a driver that has strong Midbass characteristics, as it is going to be a true Midbass/woofer. Your small format mid will handle the mid duties. So take advantage of this and use a driver that will give you that snap/punch that so many systems are missing. The BA pro's may do that. If you haven't bought them yet, you may want to look at the Rainbow drivers, and utilize the "kick" versions. As for the tweets, they are going to be crossed over fairly high, so getting a smooth, not tingy sounding tweet and the rest should fall into place.

GL let me know how it goes. or PM me if you need some help with the glass.

I would wait on buying those xovers until you have your drivers. If the drivers ohms dont match that xover, your x over points will change drastically. It looks like your door would be easy to build a wooden baffle to place a speaker on the door pocket. I Would start with a decent 6.5 mid and and find a decent tweeter to start with.
