So, I aquired two pairs of Ciare CH-250 from the Bay a while back. These are an 8ohm version that is not listed on the Ciare website. I did check and they are not the PH-250. So, since I have four of these I plan on putting a pair of each in parallel on a JE Labs style open baffle and power them with my 45 amp.
Any thoughts on how well this would work with a flea watt amp?
I am eventually going to order a pair of Eminence 15a woofers if I like the OB sound. Hell, I could order four and parallel those with the parallel CH250s with a passive series connected crossover
I was previously going to use a JBL 2155H 15" coaxial driver for the OB, but decided against it due to the lowish QTS and I didnt want to waste a $50 sheet of plywood.

German speaker diy magazine Hobby Hifi had a splendid looking OB with it in their 3/2006 issue.

My own magazine is in storage in another country so I can’t send you the dimensions or, more interestingly, the correction filter configuration but worth trying to find.

And they later published a Dacapo tower and sattelite with the driver. All interesting.
You could envision OBs in front and satellites in rear...

So, I'm loving the sound of these, but want to take it to another level. I would like to build another set of OB, but this time use 2 15a woofers in parallel and 2 ch250s in parallel per channel, but not sure how to connect both to reflect 4-8 ohms. Could I series connect the two pairs with a low pass on the woofers for an 8 ohm load? I want to parallel the drivers to further increase sensitivity for my flea watt amps.
Also, I don't care how large the baffles will be

Since you will need a crossover, you just have to worry about the two bass woofer's impedance, and the two Clare impedance separately.
So, if you get 4 ohms on the Clare, then, get two 8 ohms woofer's and wire them to 4 ohms as well.
Total system will still be 4 ohms, with variations according to XO.

But wouldn't the amplifier see them in parallel?
OK, so did some more research and I assume that if I want to use the MJK crossover (for 4 ohm drivers) then I would need to cut the inductor values in half and douple each capacitor value? Also, would it be beneficial to stagger the drivers (15a>CH250>15a>CH250)? Again, my goal with the parallel drivers is get get maximum efficiency for flea watt amps.
