I was inspired by jmascreen’s efforts and installed the passive crossover from my Vanguard speaker into the foamcore TL. It went inside without a hitch and now using RST28F tweeters with DC130A-8. The speaker sounds great. Very nice balance overall and great bass.
This definitely deserves to be made in wood.

Thanks for sharing. They look great and I like your attention to details like the radiused exit vent, the rebates, and the internal damping foam. I bet they sound great.
Can I swap the drivers directly without any changes to enclosure also any changes to crossover?
Congratulations and best luck for the commercial version of it. I am sure this will be going to sound fantastic
The TS parameters are similar in Fs, Qts, Sd, but Vas of CHP-90 is a bit bigger. It would probably work ok but I can’t guarantee if it will be optimal. Of course, you are on your own with the crossover.
One good thing working on your favor is that it’s a wideband driver so the breakup behavior is very controlled and the crossover should be simple.

I intend to try it as fullrange widening the enclosure a little ( to 7" maybe) and I will see. So = 35inch 2 and maybe it works .

I don't get "encouraging" results 🙁 . I dug these out of my closet. I'll probably install them (new baffle of course) & see what I can do with the crossover

Do you have a TL cabinet built and you tested the woofers in them? How do you mean you are not getting encouraging results?
