I have read jim's white paper and still have a had time understanding it. Any help would be awsome. Thanks All.

When I built my system I studied lots of stuff for almost 18 months. I went over Griffin's paper until I knew it like the back of my hand. I carefully matched all the parts together so that the electronic crossovers would work and then I adjusted the crossovers. What you have maybe might work, but you can't use an off the shelf passive crossover.

Making line arrays is HARD, everything has fit together just right.

I don't think you have enough stuff, but without all the spec's for everything, we can't really help.

I had specifications for every possible thing. Without that, my opinion is that you would do better with one of the plans that other people have made. Maybe someone else has a simple solution for you.

This means that you need to have the array big enough to have the mid ranges at least be a length that is 70% as long as the height of your room. Otherwise you have a line source but not a line array. You won't be in the near field for listening, and you will have all kinds of problems with the sound of the system.

Crossover will be critical to determine the maximum center to center distances for the midranges, and thus the amount that you have to use.

You can get an analog Rane Ac-23 two channel three way crossover on ebay for about $115 - if you wait and work for a good offer.

You are welcome to build anything you want, or to purchase anything you want.

The Griffin Paper clearly states that a line array requires a coupling of 70% of the height in order to be viable as a line array. Rick Craig can do anything he wants. Perhaps your room is higher than the standard seven foot American home. In that case your listening may not be in the near field.

I'm only commenting on the research paper that I used to design my speaker systems. I refer you to Dr. Griffin's line array paper, the bible of what all we do in line arrays since 2003.

The 70% factor is a suggestion for 'boost' from floor and celing reflections in the mid-bass area. If you have a vaulted ceiling, for example, you don't benefit from reflections from the ceiling but you still get floor reflections.

Certainly, you can measure the performance of the array to ascertain near and far field boundaries.
