A while ago I released a couple of different DIY designs based on the LS3/5a enclosure size and construction, the DIYRM-A and DIYRM-B. The -A used the no longer available (unless PE decides to rerelease it under a different part number with modifications) RS28F tweeter. The -B uses the Vifa horn loaded soft dome tweeter and is actually a time domain accurate speaker, so a pretty cool design in it's own right.
Since the RS28F is off the market, I thought I'd release a new design, the Initium-II. My first commercial product was called the Initium and it used the long ago cancelled Peerless CSX 6" woofer and an MDT-22. It was a relatively small box tuned to the mid 50's that took great advantage of the small center to center spacing afforded by the tiny faceplate of the MDT-22.
The Initium-II uses a Dynavox woofer, and the Vifa XT small face plate ring radiator, in an identically sized enclosure.
I finally finished the design document for it...22 pages, 19 diagrams, more measurements than you can shake a stick at. (Unless it's microphone stick...then don't shake it...)
I'll try to respond some here, but there are so many forums, so many places for discussion...please head over to...

Dave,
Not to be a persnickty old dude...but I am....a persnickty old dude...I am a member and have been for 9 years. I literally cannot keep up with all of the forums that are out there, all of the Facebook groups, etc.
A direct link to the document is here...but I cannot promise to answer questions in every forum in a timely manner across all forums and still get done the additional work work/speaker work I'm being asked to do. Very few people devote hundreds of pages of documentation to their DIY designs, hopefully I'm not coming across as not wanting to play nice...but I have paying OEM speaker clients and a full time job as well. I realize some people don't want to join Facebook, but I can't devote several hours to tracking multiple outlets.
