I have always loved the look of the Devore Orangatang O96. I am doing something completely different though. I am going to use the Denovo Audio PS92-8A as the mid tweet crossed to a sealed Peerless P830668. On the rear i am going to try the Peerless DX20BF00-08 as a rear firing tweeter. If I dont like it, I may not use it for the finished design, but I have never tried one before.

Made a little progress today. Next up damping material, then machining the fronts for the drivers.

I like the concept. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Not a lot of progress, i was building a sub for a friend using a GRS 10SW-4HE and the Dayton SPA250. It wss a great combination. I got a couple of terminal cups printed and a little extra bracing added.

They model to around 108db before baffle step for each speaker if that is what you are asking.

The **PS92-8A** is rated 85.5db (2.83v/1m). Though if you look at the response graph it appears to average pretty steadily a few db above that.

I thought you were asking about max spl. These will probably be around 84-85db sensitivity at best.

One assembled and ready to measure. I am just waiting for the wind to die down. The stands will be painted black.
