| Re: 7 speaker home theater DIY project with active crossover...would love discussion
Wow coby , it sounds like you want to build a very serious and complex system.I thought I was getting carried away by running fully active LCR's but you want 7 active channels.I can say from expirience that great gains in dynamic capabilities are possible when going with the active approach for the front 3 channels.But IMO it is not worth the effort or expense of doing active surrounds.
If I understand correctly you are limited vertically at 12" ?You might want to consider building a horizontally oriented 3way WMTW or a WCW using the SEAS COAX driver.( See discussion on AVS about this idea someone is considering).
The SEAS unit is nice because it has a controlled vertical and horizontal directivity which helps dialog intelligability as well as stereo imaging ,also the woofer and tweeter are time aligned regardless of listener axis,and with appropriate xover design the off axis response will be very good.All in all it is a great driver choice for HT.
Anyway thats my $.02
