I'll be building my first set of towers this weekend... not sure what the dimensions of the box will be, looking for insight there...
I'm on a serious college budget here so I'm looking at this combo...
on the 3 way towers...
I have (2) http://www.pyramidcaraudio.com/itempage.asp?model=TW12 that I picked up off ebay for $10 a while back and I figured they could do the job
Midrange - I trust the pioneer name?

and woofer....

I decided to go with the Sony STR DG510 for my receiver as I would like the HDMI option for my PS3...can the receiver itself power the 3 ways, or should I buy a separate amp for that? sorry for the newb questions lol
Keep in mind I'm not super picky on how it sounds as long as its decent....I don't expect perfection from a budget build.
I know I should keep the woofer completely sealed off from the others inside the box but do I also have to separate the tweeter and mid?
Last question...would using a pre-fabbed crossover be a bad thing?
like this one....http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=260-210 because i'd really like to save the stress and use a pre made crossover...
THANKS!:T
ps - and for the center channel....I already know what I'm doing but I was reading it is a bad thing to put two tweeters in the center channel. Will I see negative results from using two 1" dome tweeters on opposite ends of the box?
