On the lookout for a Model 10 crossover. I am going to build a mock CS400 with a RDO 194 tweeter and two MW6501 drivers. I can create an enclosure that is up to 9"H x 20"W x 19"D. If I need more room I can go 15" on the height. Won't have the bass of my 10A's but I am hoping to end up with a better tonal balance than I am getting now with the CS400i which of course has the Trilam tweeters. Any idea's on volume or porting will be greatly appreciated. I use WinISD to build sub-woofer boxes and it has always maximized each driver I have ever built a box for. It will be hard to do with out some basic driver data I can't seem to find. Qts. Vas. Fs. dia. etc...

If I can't get some help with the driver data I may just have to use the 5JR I own. It fits perfectly in the center channel opening in my entertainment center. Question is, is the RDO 194 the correct replacement tweeter?

    I have two RTA 8 crossovers that'll work great for your center channel project. You would also be able to use the RDO- 194 with this crossover. What front speakers are u using.

    I am doing the same type of project now, with the same drivers. I will give you all my data as soon as It is completed next week.
