don't know yet. just finished the electronic crossover for the woofs and now in the middle of building the amp for the mids and highs.
They look great. I like that you went with OB bass, rather than following Qualio's scheme.
But please tell me you didn't buy those crossover components based solely on chatGPT's answers. 😱

Went based on Qualio's disclosed information (slopes and hi/lo pass freq. and cut off's) on what they is their crossover. A.I. was just used to verify what I got from actual calculations.
Hi, I really like the look of what you've done, but I'm confused about a couple of things - hope you don't mind me asking.
First, I saw a post you put on the DIY Biamp 6-24 thread a few days ago. It implies you're intending to use an LX mini active crossover between the bass and midrange drivers, and then you're adding a Biamp 6-24 active crossover to the midrange feed, to divide the mid and tweeter. Is that correct?
If so, what is the passive crossover for?
Second, assuming that there is a purpose to the passive crossover, are you saying you designed it using standard calculators, without any measurements or modelling, and haven't prototyped the speakers with cheaper components?

Going to listen for a while with the passive. Then Ill listen a while with the active setup. I like having options. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. I'll eventuality end up with what sounds best to me. If I don't try out different directions, I'll never know.
OK. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes for you now, because that's quite a gamble, splashing out on Milflex and Duelund caps for a crossover that hasn't been designed based on measurements of the drivers in the baffle, and without any modelling in advance.
I expect you'll need to make some measurements in order to optimise both active and passive options. It's not easy to do it by ear. Those are nice drivers, and you've done an impressive construction job - it would be a shame not to get the best out of them.
