The JBL 4612 pdf is a speaker that you can draw inspiration from.
It had very nice natural vocal tones with it's twin 8 mid-bass woofs and the biRadial tweeter.
Study the network in the pdf and notice one 8" runs fullrange while the other has a simple lowpass ( single coil ) on it.
The helper 8" ( with coil ) was there to extend the bottom end of the box ( which would be mid-heavy if one 8" was rolled off).
I think you should try something similar.

The important thing is to work toward your goal and not let the obstacles hold you back. Imagine my wife's reaction when I told her we had to move a couch out of our living room so I could fit in the music system. Life was not bliss that week but you get through it.
You know, if you put the bass cabinets on their sides they won't look that big to her.
My brother had a folded horn with an 18", JBL 10" mid bass (might be 12's can't remember) and horns in his sun room. Eventually stopped using the 18" out of respect for the neighbours.

That is interesting, I'll have to see how they perform when I get them.

Cal, I bet your neighbors LOVE you!
I thought most of them were higher than that, no?
I use these: CX2310 V2 | Crossovers | Signal Processors | Behringer | Categories | Music Tribe - Behringer)
They are 24dB. The steeper the slope the better the tweeter protection.

I vaguely remember people having issues with higher order crossovers from years back but I can not recall what they were. So 12 dB is out for sure, I really was more inclined to 18 dB anyway. I will have to look up 24 dB filters. I got a bad gateway page from the link. I'll Google the model once I get my coffee.
The Behringer uses Linkwitz-Riley filters with 24 dB/octave slope. In brushing up on things I came across that filer alignment but did not delve too deep. Searched for it and found a write up bt Fane that says pretty much what I needed to hear.

My Ashley XR-1001 worked great for my Altec 604-8Gs. I liked the ability to adjust the 24dB LR slope to dial them in.
Since I sold those drivers it now sits in its box in the garage. I should probably pass it along to someone who can use it!

Or use it as an excuse to build new speakers.
Cool, hope I catch it when it comes out.
Just got the drivers in the mail. Very, cute. Easily fit in the palm of your hand. The horns will take a while. I do have some in the shed that are mated to some Electro-Voice drivers, the make these look like a toy. But these are not in the Electro-Voice league. The Pyle are rated for 100W, the EV only 30W. I guess that rating was from a time when men were men and watts were watts.
Boy, talk about disappointing or what. Just tried it at a lower volume through a single cap through the horn. Have to put my hear to the horn to hear it. Maybe it is defective, tried another. This one managed to be as loud as the 8". Tried the two more, they were fine also. So one defective one, thought I threw away a bunch of money for nothing. Tried the EV with the 8". More efficient, no high end but then again we only used to use them up to 5 kHz for the PA.
