Why don't you like bi-amped tops? they are better in every way!
 If it's because you want to be able to use only two,  2-channel amplifiers to run this system, just run in Mono until you can get another amp! Most amps will easily drive 2x tweeters from one channel and 2x woofers from the other...

It is true the Turbosound models you mentioned are old, but they are still very, very good, and would be a good match for your horns. The woodwork is of a similar high standard, for a start :) You may want a mid-bass box or kick-bin between them, though.

If you don't like "selfmade" ("DIY" is a better way of saying that) midtops, you haven't heard a good one!

the construction is excellent. the braces do look slightly dangerous though! some drunk head falling against one may not come off too well. am i being overly negative?

its a handle ... if you stand behind the cab and you must pull them backward ... ;)

Jep, basicly MDF, but now I have some cheap ply (6,80€ m²)

So I have made the rest of ply.
