The mids are Dayton RS 150 metal cones.
The bass are 12" units custom designed for BK electronics in the UK -
Who are OEM manufacturers of some very well regarded subwoofers.
Nearest common equivalent is probably Eminence Lab 12's.
The system is unusual. It's a 3 way active open baffle design.
With digital FIR crossover filters and Linear Phase correction.

Had the same thinking of combining R2604 and WG148, so I decided to make a small adapterplate that connects tweeter to waveguide, using original mounting screws.
If anyone is interested of doing the same I put it up on thingiverse.

Some more tweeter+waveguides - included the XT25:

Wow - thanks for sharing. What software did you use to model it? I’m new to 3D printing and just getting my hands wet with SketchUp.
I use Fusion 360 Personal for modelling, and Cura as slicer.
Can absolutely recommend to take the time to get into Fusion, so easy to do these small projects, and to do them fully parametic as well. ..as one tends to never stop tweaking the projects. 🙂

Hi Axslom,
Great design. Would be cool if you can post pics of the adapter and waveguide. Tks.
I have the xt25 60, do you think your adapter can be modified to fit? My fusion is very limited but sound doable as it's moding an existing design.

digitalthor , those links are a great reference, nice test with good data. According to the open source monkey box, before they choose an augerpro wg machine/ casted on al ( I believe the 6"), they tried several wg, mostly the wg-300 and w-148g, and they liked the 148 more. Both waveguides look very similar, but the 148 is shallower and about 1in 2 cm smaller on diameter( don't quote on that). What I am trying to state is that the results of the xt25 and the w148g maybe be similar or better than the w300. I have the 148 as the 300 is not easy to get on the usa and I have not yet assembled them.
Happy that you found them useful - cause he inspired me to use the DXT tweeter and build different speakers, so that I could have better polar response 🙂
I bought the 148 - but think that the WG300 might be a better waveguide.
But I dont need a bigger waveguide right now - using smaller midrange(4 way speakers)... so that's why my experimentation stopped with the DXT 😀
Maybe this square waveguide could be interesting too:
Looking for a Visaton WG 220x150? - SoundImports
And here is a wave-fit-guide 😎
SoundImports | "Wave guiding" your favorite tweeter. - SoundImports
the Visaton Waveguide WG 220x150 is basically the 148 with rectangular frame. if you look at the specs drawings you can see that effective radiating area is the same and the rest is basically a flat plastic frame.
I did this graph comparing both waveguides with the plain drivers. the red dot marks the 90 deg point.
The guide is great.

Hi Frabor,
I added a pic of stripped tweeter, and adapter attached to waveguide on thingiverse.
I believe the xt25 60 is almost physically identical to R2604/832000 and R2604/833000 (and also the "D2604"-versions) regarding to faceplate, so I'd assume they would fit. Please do try!

friend just go a crealty 3d printer as his old delta was worn out. it is amazing what crealty will provide for around $250, given the quality of prints, build size and almos "ready to go" kit. as soon as it is operational Ill ask him to print the adapter (I have to deliver the laptop with all the software).
I am 99.99% convinced that it woudl fit as they state here
