If you have no experience on speaker design, nor suitable measuring equipement, I suggest you take some predesigned system and build that. It's not that easy to create a good speaker by only knowing the drivers you want to use.

If you want a reasonably priced system with good bass you could build for ex. this:

Ok. Basically you can design the outside of the speakers to be whatever you want. The look of the drivers is the only thing limiting your creativity. Of cource it's important to keep the internal dimentions of box as designed, but that's rarely an obstacle for creativity.

Here's a list of some sites with good designs among wich you might find a few that pleases you:

I think Landroval is on the right track. If you determine the size and style of box, you can change the outside appearance to suit you.

I think you'll be fine going ahead with the all Eminence system but maybe even consider the APT 150 tweeter versus the 80. I like the dispersion better. Never been a fan of the short round horns.

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...=290-534&DID=7

You'll probably do OK with 400 and 4000 XO points, min 12dB. Are you planning passive or active?

Another choice is the drop it to 200 or 250 and double up on the mids for power handling. Geez now that I think about it, is there any reason you are not going with a 15" low end?

Cal thanks for the fast answer.I think for many project ,but if it`s possible a 2 cameras speaker-1 for the low`s speaker,and one for the meduim`s and for the high,`s because this is my favourite sub design for all times:
Is this design is possible for the Eminence and effective?
If you can give me any link because the Dayton 3-ways project from Landroval is too good but I am affraid that i can confuse things
