This is going to be an ignorant set of questions that I'm about to ask, but at least give me a bit of help, if possible.
I recently got some Infinity SS2001 LCR speakers that had foam rot. I've gotten really good redoing Infinity IMG woofers, so I had an idea for a project.
I'll have 4, 5 1/4 " woofers, and 3 of their poly cell tweeters.
I wanted to use 2 of the woofers, and one of the tweeters each in a mini tower.
Heck, I had even thought about using just the 2 woofers per tower.
But is there a way to use the crossovers from the LR speakers as the crossover in a single tower?
Or, if I use just the woofers, will they act as a full range pair and need no crossovers?
I also have some reference 1's, with the 6 inch woofers, and I could use a 6, a 5.25, and a tweeter per tower.
Is any of the above doable? Mind you, I'm not needing it to be a "holy crap, look what I made" speaker, but even if it's passable, it would be fun just to mess around and hone speaker building skills with already owned parts.....
Thanks.

I quite often sit and listen to audio through an 18 inch woofer.
It seems to pass higher frequencies OK.
I guess it might struggle a bit if it was loud but I only listen at moderate listening levels.

Yeah, I too was thinking about moderate levels. Sorry if I didn't be more specific.
What I'm really naive about,and am having a hard time finding info on, is speaker behavior in general.
As in my example about the 6 inch, 5.25 inch x 2 tower scenario.
If I have those 3 woofers in there , not worrying about having a tweeter to be crossed over, and assuming that the impedance works out having them wired in parallel, can it just be a straight wired affair.
I've heard mid woofers that , to my old ears, sound just fine by themselves.
I'm just not sure about having the 2 - 5.25's", or the 3 woofer scenerio.

nothing wrong with that approach to a project and if you learn something along the way it's all good.
speaker behavior is generally a mathematical analysis that is meaningless to most save the real geeks. if paralleling three driver produces what you want sonically have at 'er...
paralleling three drivers might create to low of an impedance for the amp.
