wow, amazing looking speakers ~ and I’m super impressed w/your deign and woodworking skills! So, i’m assuming that you wired the two 4 ohm speakers in series, but I’m curious about the crossover ; how did you set that up? Is it a 3.5 way, or a 4 way?
Hello friend. Thank you for the compliments. The crossover is 3.5 Way. Two of the woofers are 4 Ohm in series LPF at 850Hz, the other woofer is 4 Ohm and has LPF at 380Hz

What a beautiful design and execution! I have always built 2-way or 2.5way speakers and looking to build a 3-way. Would you be interested in sharing , if you have, the cabinet measurements and crossover design? Beautiful work!

Love this design. Looks so much like my old polk still A9 and can’t find anything like them. Wish I would have kept them. If you would share the design specs and crossovers that would be so awesome. I would love to build these. Like Emmet I’ll add my email. Michaelbarfield82@gmail.com
