I am new to speaker building, although 25 years ago I built an electronic crossover and subwoofer with a friend of mine. I now have the money and the time to try it again. I want to use an Acoustic Elegance TD8M 8ohm, Beyma TPL150 8ohm, and Monacor AIRMT-85 4 ohm with a Hypex FusionAmp FA123 (125W+125W+100W) with DSP built-in. I don't have any experience with a DSP and how to set it up. I've seen Vapor Audio has a TD10M and Beyma TPL150 crossed over at 1050Hz so I will probably crossover at 1100Hz and 7500Hz. Acoustic Elegance recommends a 12L enclosure with a port tuned to 80Hz and a sub picking up at 100Hz.
Does this all make sense? What size port would I need (length/diameter)? I've never used a DSP so I was wondering if there are people who can help set it up. I was thinking about setting up the speakers as ideal and then using the pre-amp DSP for the room correction. We are building a home in northern Idaho but since it isn't built yet, the room correction stuff can come later. Any advice is appreciated. I'm sure one of the questions is why the Monacor tweeter. There are two reasons 1) I didn't want to just copy Vapor Audio and 2) I wanted to see if I could limit the vertical beaming. Most of the time the speakers will be used in home theater rather than critical listening so people won't necessarily be in ideal positions.
