I've run the tweeter in negative polarity as a L-R filter would dictate, but I suppose I could try reversing it anyway. I use a Zobel on the woofer and a series notch on the tweeter as well.

Hmm I was just thinking, and.. well think that I need to replace the Tweeter on one of my Kef c30's :s that would be expensive. The coating on the silk cover has scratched a bit off.
There is my first cut (practise and then my second which my Plate amp fits in perfectly. Tomorrow I will be Glueing it all together, all the wholes are cut. Just need to screw and Glue

denz,
The tweeters may not be as much as you think to get replaced. Mine are $120 per unit because some of the parts are not made anymore (such as the aluminum face plate) and there are only a few tweeters left at the factory. Just go online and find the phone number for KEF's service department. They should be able to tell you how mich it will cost to get a new set of tweeters (or just one if thats all you need).
I think i'm really leaning towards buying the new tweeters for the Pro22's. Everything i've read about them says they are really incredible speakers. But then again I never thought I would spend $240 for a pair of tweeters!
Voodoo rufus,
I would try to run the tweeters out of phase and see if it helps. Depending on the crossover order the tweeters will be out of phase with the woofers unless you have already corrected for it. Can you maybe describe the sound and whats wrong with it?

Yes, and I will finnish mine tomorrow
yippie. Couldnt find any baffeling so I will try it without it untill I get some
"edit"
Well im done (well almost)
All I need to do is get the Baffeling. Then Decide how to cover. And Screw in the rest of the Screws around the Amp and Driver (just on to see how it works)
I am so so so Much more than impressed with this thing

Get some weather stripping and put it under the ring of the sub mount. Also, did you put that sub in right after lining the box with silicone to seal the box? If so you might end up destroying your sub from the toxic fumes.
I managed to lose ALL my jigsaw blades, so I am postponing the box till saturday. That and I managed to buy 20 AA's instead of AAA's for my camera.

Yeah, the silicon sealant will cut ALOT of of the wistle from your box, just line the edges inside the box with it. And just get that weather stripping for around the sub, and maybe the amp. I know my Bash 300w amp doesnt have much in terms of batting for stoping the air. But at the same time, I have a 4" port, so if it leaks a bit, I doubt it will make much of a difference. We shall see when I get it all done.

What size of MDF did you use? If it flexes alot, I reccommend cracking open the box and adding more bracing. You dont want to cuase the box to rattle accross the floor and make the sub sound like uncle john after thanksgiving

Could someone show me, tell me, or point me towards how to build a center channel speaker that will be voicematched with the speakers I am building? These are what I am gonna build, minus the horrendous color.

But I have always heard that you need to have a center speaker that voice matches your front left and right, how do I figure out how to do that?
