Thanks Jay. Yeah the BBC dip is something I am finding I like in a lot of builds. Not for everyone, but for the owner of these, its what he finds pleasing.

I almost always EQ in a little BBC dip into whatever I am listening to.

No not perfectly flat. We will probably bring the mid and tweet down just a touch more. But that will be up to Mike. As is they are very nice. Smooth, no sibilance and clear. We listened for about 3hrs the other night and I can say there was no listener fatigue at all. I should get him an SPL meter to keep close though. We were well into the 90s at the listening position and there was no audible distortion to be found.

These are power hogs though! I tested them with my Adcom GFA555 and Beringher xp1500. They do well on lower power, but really come to life with more juice.

Still need a name...lol

Probably not a good name, but the phrase that came to me when I first looked them was "All In".

A few more pics. The first 2 show the rail system that Mike devised to hold the upper cabinets secure. He has access to a lot of this extruded aluminum and it works very well! The last pic is a shot of the CSS APR15. I really like these! Very easy to work with and the ease of tuning is superb! Currently we have 12 washers loaded onto them for a tuning of about 27hz.

Very cool attachment system! Thanks for sharing. My little 3-way I just did had a very similar response. Mine were a bit lower in the 1khz region, but overall very similar.

I think with the UM12 as the woofer, these need some kind of imposing name like Decimator or The Punisher, or my personal favorite - Ares for the Greek god of war.

Keep the names coming! They are all awesome! I like Ares. I thought about using my middle name but the Leonidas (Spartan king).

Re: UM12 based 3way: Needs a name

So the owner has decided on a name: Trinity, 3in1, his thought is that the integration between the drivers is pretty seamless. So the present as one unit though with 3 distinct voices.
Now can someone tell me how to edit the thread title? Lol
