Beak81champ,
That's good, I think you might come out ahead in the long run money wise.
Did you order a heavy gauge coil for the woofer?
Thinking you won't need a lot of damping material, I tried no-fill once, since there was cork laminated on the interior, but eventually added some fill back in.
Be sure to flush-out the tweeter with the baffle, use cork/carboard for gaskets (if needed)

Looking Good, shouldn't be long now.
I'm using 3 for LCR with a heavy 12" sub. I put on a demo dvd for a guest the other day: Fury chapter 11, oh boy we were both ducking under the furniture. YIKES!
I crossover lower than most, too much over lap at 80hz.
Damping looks good, you'll want to experiment a bit, I don't think you will need more.

Thanks for the tip! I’m building a center as well using 2 Anarchy 558’s and 2 Faital Pro FE25’s. I can’t wait to hear this whole combo!
My Renditions and Anarchy 558 center channel with a Stereo Integrity RM-12. I need to build a new sub box to match the rest of my speakers, but now I can run the Dirac Live on the Arcam AVR390, and get everything dialed in a bit.

Good job on the builds, perhaps add plastics laminate to the sides, they make through color products which can be ordered at HD.

You like a lot of bass! What are your listening impressions on the Renditions?
I still have have mine, a passive pair and 3 more for a active setup [lost some bass, but overall I like them better for HT] Last year,,, I went crazy and built a stack of them lol
The 558s
I looked on the web, didn't find much on the 558s, other than a 5.5" woofer and 3" full range. Some curiosity on that build.
