Keep your line array idea simple. Get some good $100 tweeters
and $20 - $25 4" - 6" midwoofers and you are good to go.

My budget array is ten $25 tweeters and sixteen 49 cent 4" midranges
per tower, ported.

I've been able to hit 122dB[c] on midrange from 12 feet away using
the Radioshack SPL meter. Upper midbass is >126dB[c] and I've had
stuff fall off the shelves in the kitchen.

I have four PLX3402 in bridged mode power the array with DCX2496.

It's a simple design. I don't know why you want to make a
design so complicated that performance might be compromised.

If you use drivers better than 49 cents and use better tweeters, and
execute the rest of the design well, it will be very sweet.
