That is a speaker design I and many others have asked Axiom to make for many years now, a small(ish) 3 way design. I think this should strong down to 60-70 hz range or at least sound like it is with a minor bump in the FR much like the M3. I have been tempted to modify my M22s to accept the 6.5" driver and make my own crossover but I never could convince myself to potentially ruin my M22's. Looking forward to hearing about this journey.

If this turns out looking anything like the last speaker I know you'll be happy.

Looks like a good plan Richard. Are you planning to have a port in the back? That doesn't sound good, does it? Looking forward to the finished product!

Whoa, what a weekend, good thing its 4 days. Put the tranny i rebuilt in the kids truck friday, fixed brakes saturday and managed to get a bit done on the new speakers. Made one hell of alot of sawdust. The end pieces were a real biotch,made 10 or so to get 4. Need table saw bad. I took a couple pics though really its nothing to look at.

Yeah, a table saw is pretty much imperative... You could always get one from Harbor Freight, if you have one near you?

No Harbor Freight here, i live in northern canada.So far the way i am doing it is working fine but really time consuming. I have all my cut done now so im good to go. I have a small shop but at the moment my kid has a snow machine in pieces and my MC is in there and a bunch of junk. The weather is improving, and with gas prices what they are the MC will be pressed into action soon. Then i can get in there and get organized and then get a saw.Also its kinda sketchy buying big equipment living in a rental.

Im bored so here i am. Not much to report,i have the frames built for the M16's .I am also building a sub, it will have 1 x 10 inch driver and 2 passive radiators with a bash 300 amp.Its a kit from creative sound in BC. The box will be painted black using base clear. Im in the holding pattern as the circle jigs i ordered are enroute, i ordered a router from amazon and a roundover bit from the US and speaker cloth from simply speakers in the US. Here are some pics of the frames and my sub box.

nice clean layout, too bad you'll never see it again
I have to say for reasons like that plexi glass speakers are pretty cool.

yeah i wont see it again but i know it's there just the same. I spent considerable time laying it out so one component would conect to the other without jumpers though i had to make a couple. I considered learning to make circuit boards but thats just more than i care to learn.
