Nice job! Pretty complex crossovers it seems.

I didn't design the crossover, and I certainly would not have attempted to build them if not for the PCBs and detailed parts list/instructions from Matt at MTG Designs. This was my first crossover build and it wasn't too difficult. I think anyone with modest soldering skills can put one of these kits together without too much trouble. Not too expensive either, and they sound great!

Thanks for the reply! My rack is all second-hand gear, and I'm always looking to add more amps whenever I can afford them. 

I currently have a Yamaha P2500s which is powering the pair of VBS speakers, and a Crown XLS 1502 which powers my THAM12 in bridge mono mode. I also have the older RANE ME15 graphic equalizer and AC22 crossover which I was using before I built the two VBS speakers. Now I'm using the low pass filter at 100hz on the Crown amp for the sub, and sending the full-range signal to the VBS tops. I recently acquired a dbx DriveRack PA which I will use for all signal processing as soon as I learn how to use it. I'm really excited to dig into what the DriveRack can do and start experimenting with it.

Ahhh this makes more sense now Smile I have never been a fan of the sound of driverack pa. If it's first your first dsp you will definitely learn a lot of good info experimenting Thumbs Up
