Rs180P/RS28F vs. small DC160 3 way

[filmslayer]

Just curious, how do plan to cut the slot. I've never done. The first thing that comes to mine is: small rough in the baffle, mount the baffle, then an appropriate router bit's bearing using the enclosures slot to guide the finished baffle cut.

to be honest Mike i am pondering this myself right now ! the plan was to drill the 4 corners the use a jig saw with some sort of clamped guide in place , but i can't find my jig saw ! i have thought about going the router way as you've described but think i may just wait to find my jig saw or borrow one tomorrow . i did want to hear this tonight but i'm starting to tire , been at these since 7:30 this morning ...

made the final decision , went up to 18" so i can align drivers in the center vertically . no turning back now !

i see what you mean about 90 , yes i am standing on the side ... though this would work with no changes ....

[filmslayer]

what exactly you mean rotated 90 degrees ?

yes , terminal cup filling for DS90 ... the 90 is overall 3.64" , the terminal cup 4 , so i'll have a little there .... i'm gonna have to increase the height to 16.5 , no biggie just makes it a lil taller ... left/right is no problem , all my builds are that way , wasn't really the plan for these but i can still center the 2 way ...

Question : do i run into any issues staggering the divers like this ?

[filmslayer]

took Johns advice and went for 3/4" stuff , loosing an inch did throw my box dimensions outta whack . working on new cut sheet now ,hoping to have box's together tomorrow and the 2way baffle cut Sunday ...

parts are ordered and as Jbunner has told me there is nothing left but a little git-r-done !!! i have made some considerations , been following this thread http://techtalk.parts-express.com/fo...iver-important and gonna do an A-B the a stack of 10uF poly buyouts and a 68uF npe ... for me being a noob its about learning , so i'll measure and listen and report back .

if i didn't know better i'd say the Speaker Gods are conspiring against this build !!! first the 160"s are outta stock , then it was just hot to go out and work and now with the 160's back and the brutal heat backed off a bit i get really excited to get these box's together this weekend only to wake up yesterday to a monsoon ! we're to get 15-19 inches of rain between saturday and tuesday .... so i'm stuck inside . figure i'd put an ext, port in my surrounds pull them out in the middle of the room and get some measurements . i can find nothing that fits inside that 3" cutout ... i have 3" core tubes that my window film comes on but they are the exact same same size and just won't fit .

how important to my measurements is the port gonna be ? i've already designed the XO for the 2 way in small sealed cab but measurements were taken using the floor as a boundary as they are designed to go on wall , i was just wanting to get them out in the middle of the room with no boundary effects ....
