I have two ESS AMT3 speaker boxes (see picture). Each has the large Heil driver but no midrange and woofers. The speaker box originally was a 3 way design with a 6" mid and two 10" bass units. I can't find much about the original specs other than one website says the crossover frequencies were 250 and 700. The cabinet volume is 3 cubic feet. I have red that the Heil driver is best crossed over above 1Khz (typically 1.6Khz) from other threads in diyaudio.
I would like to use dsp/amp such as the Zoudio AIO4CH or one of the partsexpress dsp/amp combos for crossing over and powering the Heil and midrange. The bass driver will be a Dayton RSS265HF-4 that will be powered by a subwoofer amp. I already have this driver so that is what I want to use. It should work well with a 2.7 cubic foot ported cabinet from the specs.
The midrange speaker will be in a sealed enclosure.
So my question is ... has anyone designed or tried a midrange (5-6.5") with a Heil driver that they thought integrated well together. The midrange would have to have reasonable efficiency as the amps in the Zoudio put out 25W@8 and 50W@4. The range of the midrange would likely be 1.5khz to 150hz. If possible I would like to integrate the Dayton RSS265 to the natural rolloff of the midrange using the filter in the sub amp.
Something like Satori MW16P-4 could work but perhaps a higher efficiency speaker that someone knows could be better because of the low power of the amplifier. I believe the Heil is 94db efficient. I am not a speaker expert which is why I am taking suggestions from people who may have tried something like this.
I appreciate any help provided.
