I'd like to know before pursuing this path, its not a cheap mistake lol.   Not sure whether you'll want go give an opinion Rog but if you were to make some tweaks to the xtro design but keep the driver complement the same where would you start?   We had XTA processing, MC2, LAB G's, and many other top amps avalible to drive Matt's Xtro's, but I was (luckily) at the other side of the room when they we trying to set them up, so can't say what the processor or amps were used to power the Xtro's. You need to ask, Jeff or Mike and a couple of others what the setup was as they were playing around with Matt's Xtro.   As to changing or tweaking the design of the Xtro. If Walts happy then I'm happy, so would leave it just the way it is.

its the wonderfull sarcasm of this site that always draws me back

well i've used to 8" horns on top of each other so hopefully there won't be a lack of mid. fu*k it the money's spent now

Something on the xtro plans has me a bit puzzled, it says "inside midhorn should be coated with Baffletex to minimise reflections" , I am assuming that means to pack behind the driver with a fiberglass alternative  and not fix a layer of material to the inner faces of the horn itself, the only reference I found to baffletex was a synthetic cloth used in the manufacture of sleeping bags, but does the stuffing also include the space between the horn and the outer box?    Also, I have been planning on making a router template for building my cabs and the pics in this thread have made that a whole lot easier so thanks a lot for taking the time to show us your build.

Baffletex is about 6mm thick foam which is used to cover baffles on hifi speakers to minimise reflections of the sound (high frequency)
