Hello everyone I am still embarking on this open baffle journey. I currently have a passible analog crossover for the Kef Q100 coaxial woofer and tweeter driver in the baffle.
My goal is to actively blend two woofers coming that will arrive Wednesday and be placed on the same baffle.
Eventually I know I will want to pass the lowest octaves to a sub so a sub out would be necessary.
Originally I intended to get a couple of A07’s but I would end up needing line level into subwoofer as opposed to RCA since there is no sub out for that amplifier. Plus I would have two external power supplies that would look messy.
Would be A09 fit the bill? I have not seen any measurements yet.
I am trying to keep cost down as I have already spent more than I probably should have or tinkering around.
I’ll post photos when I get home.

OK after some playing around with parts I had from a couple other builds and my RP600 xo upgrade I came up with this for the Q100 Coaxial driver in open baffle. Much better than the stock XO as that was giving me a huge dip right in the midrange and a rising tweeter which is the opposite of what I like.
Light Blue is the Stock XO in the open baffle but dead center, left to right, in the baffle and about 6 inches from the top. Yikes...
Green is after moving the driver off center and lopping off 6 inches from the top of the baffle still using stock XO.
Blue is with a 3.6mh inductor on the woofer and 3.9 uf cap on the tweeter with the tweeter reversed in polarity as when I first hooked it up there was a huge hole there.
Red is using the same inductor (From the tweeter circuit of the RP600m I think) and a cap I originally got for my SWAN DIY 3.1 which is a 6.8uf cap to bring the tweeter down just a little bit more. Roles off pretty steep but if I'm honest that's how I tend to eq it.
Now just waiting for the GRS drivers to arrive. I have the Dayton DATS coming as well, but do I really need it, if my top end looks like this and I'll be actively managing the GRS woofers' integration?
Could the Aiyima A09 be used to power all of this? I've seen zero reviews on this amp.
