    id just build em, then get someone to hold them up for u...sit down in the listening area, and tell them to keep highering/lowering them till the sound suits u....
    Damn you all, damn you all to hell.......

    well the speaker i designed, i picked out every thing itd need, i have everything itd need down in my computer drivers, components, pieces -etc...the only thing that seperates it from the rest is the fact that the speaker is technically split in half, it has two crossovers - and it would take a 4 channel amp to run a pair...lol

    yeah...i was thinking that too
    yeah.. and you should work for polk.. certainly is interesting..

    when i do this though what should i mostly be looking for in the sound..
    just clarity, and balance with the other speakers? or what.

    actually run it in pro logic -- if u hear the surrounds more than the mains, THEIR toooooooooooooooooo loud...turn the surrounds down, try again. If they blend, u hit the jack pot

    when u have ur surrounds, u should be able to hear them - just not NOTICE THEM, like they shouldnt attract ne of ur attention to them, they should blend perfect
