OK, I have changed the mid to a Dayton PC83-4. I also changed the tweeter to a ND28F-6. I have also included the zobels on the mid and woofer, notch filter on the tweeter and BSC on the mid and tweeter. Apart from requiring 40 components it looks good to me, impedance above 6 ohms and fairly flat response. The total box size is a compact 43L, 37 for the woofers and 5.5 for the rest. The Xsim file is attached. Anymore comments are welcome.
Thanks for that Lojzek, looks impressive. I note that you have not gone with the BSC and zobels. Thanks also to Shadow and Don. I am going out to buy some wood.
You're most welcome. Hopefully you'll post a few pics and possibly measurements of what you've built.
You need a zobel on your mids. Fix that then your low pass and high pass filters there will behave a lot better.
I have finally got speakers that work and sound pretty good. I was going to build a sub but I don't think I need it. I don't have a calibrated mic. Thanks for your suggestion Erik. I have played around with multiple suggestions for the mids but I had to stop somewhere. I might still see if I can get a better response but doubt if I will change the cct board. Thanks to everyone for your help.
Why don't you mess around with an equaliser before you go that far.. It will tell you whether the response is a problem (can fix it) or it's your crossover/acoustics (can't fix it).
Allen, I don't have the funds to mess around with an equaliser. Components here aren't cheap. Lojzek, please elaborate. The crossover I used was as good for the response as I could get while keeping the impedance reasonably flat and above 5 ohms. As I said it sounds good.
Whatever you do, there will be someone with experience in that area.
It's just that I was just thinking about a method where the output of an equaliser can be merged with your crossover target in your simulator so you can make only a single adjustment and then remove the equaliser if desired.
In any case, the voicing is usually done by ear so there's a clear way forward.
