Beautiful. They look like they were cut from a solid block of wood. Wow.

r-carpenter,

I'm looking to make some surrounds to go with my mains using FW168's and was wondering a few things about your FW146 bookshelf.

1. What were the cabinet dimensions, center points for drivers, etc for the enclosures you built?

2 What was the port size and tuning for the build?

3. I'm guessing I'll need to model it in PCD using your crossover as a starting point but do you have an idea of how close the proAC tweeter and the DX-25 tweeter should be modeling wise?

Thanks
Jay

I'll bring them over to NY DIY and will measure driver positions etc. I have all the info in the shop.
ProAc Vifa is very close to a stock DX-25. You could use stock FR and impedance and get away with it.
My crossover was a bit overcomplicated because I was trying to get FR of the Fountek as close as possible to ZA14. You may be able to just do second order electrical may be with notch filter. All thou there aren't too much in component count.
Both drivers are fairly easy to work with so, I'd get creative in PCD but you are welcome to use my crossover as well.
