[rinx]

Good morning from Estonia.
I was here before similar topic about this project. So I am gonna do 3-way. Finally i got my Audax from France, I bought this one:

I read some good reviews about this driver, so I decided to use it. My system gonna be MTMWW.

Then tweeter:

Of course my budegt is already "broken", but its something where you cant count every dollar. I am gonna use alo different sofrware like FRD tools plus SpeakerWorkshop for crossover design. Before I am gonna use those, I am waiting some suggestion about crossover.
What should be approx., crossover points and is there something particular doing cross. for those elements?!

Your link to the Audax site shows all of their drivers, so we can't tell which one you are using. If you could click on the driver that you are using, and then give us that link, it would help.

Woofer ? it must the Dayton 8" Reference ... a bit low sensitivity, with double mids you may be a little low on bass output ... why not the 10" ??

I would cross a bit high ... 300-500hz ... but maybe not with these Dayton
Using double midwoofers you may be able to use them fullrange(bass) ... depending on goal fore SPL
A cheap plateamp may not cost more than the passive xo components saved

So, the Audax is here:

Looks like a very nice driver
Its a bit short Xmax, so if you play VERY loud rock you may need to give it a high pass filter around 300hz

That Audax does seem fairly nice, aside from the short xmax, as previously stated. Hrmmm...I don't think I've ever seen that one either. Oh yeah..I hope you're not planning on flush mounting these drivers in their baffles. It's usually a bit of a pain. But then again, I've never bothered with those types of driver frames, so what do I know? Goodluck.

I have the Audax HM170ZO. The 6.5" ver. of that mid driver and it sounds EXCELLENT. It seems to do nothing wrong at all. That smaller one is probably even better for midrange.
