That's where Roger and I part company. Whether it's a line or point source dispersion and response issues still dictate that no less than a 2 way, and preferably a 3 way system is necessary to run the full audio bandwidth. I believe you can get what you're looking for via the link above, though.
I think going with a two or three way also makes sense. From my understanding, he's eq'ing the low end a LOT. The reason why it isn't distorted beyond all get out is because he has so many drivers. The other thing that should be noted is the drivers he's using -- I can't remember what they are off the top of my head, but they weren't the $8/driver type I used.

In the end, my plan was to eq a little bit to extend my line array down to work with a powered sub as well as using a horn loaded tweeter that's SUPER efficient to handle the duties from maybe 8k and above.

Oh, and I wired my drivers so that they all receive the same amount of power, but with the combination of parrallell and series wiring, I was able to get a nominal 6ohm system.
