    Hello Vincent C.
    Looked at your build on the Parts Express Customer Project Gallery. Very interesting on the open baffle work.
    I am asking if your crossover network is designed to tone down the 5khz shriek mentioned by other folks. i have boxed mine in the.22cuft knock-down cabinet by Parts Express and wondering if your crossover design would do similar attenuation in a closed system. Thanks, eddie
