Been at this for while now, many builds and lots of experimenting with different midwoofers and tweeters.
I read where the Anarchy 7" was a really great woofer, good value and so intrigued bought 10 at a slight discount from DIYGroup.
Tried a few builds with them, with mixed results, and ended up with a stack of boxes not being used.
That was until a fellow posted a design/xo for the Anarchy 8ohm and the Dayton RS28F (this is a very popular combination btw).
Again, whipped together more boxes and re-purposed some of what I had on hand.
The MTM's are "Renditions", the design(s) can be found over on a thread at DIY Audio, not shown is a BB ply TMM, which was the last build and using that for a center.
The Rendition is a amazing speaker and measures nicely. The passive crossover part-count is low; highly recommend a good quality, low drc inductor for the woofers.
So back to the amazing Anarchy and the bone yard of boxes. I couldn't' believe this myself and why the post. The two 36" floor standers to the right are slightly oversized for the woofers and tuned slightly lower (24hz) than the speakers to the left (34hz). These are now the subwoofers for the system -- a 10 speaker Anarchy system! The bass is just great using a stereo AB amp to drive them, using the on-board processor xo settings (only). There's a really nice blend of bass in the 80hz - 120hz range, which was unexpected.
