My friend is pretty set on spending 200 bux on the pair.  I doubt he will go any higher, and i cant say that i blame him, I dont have that much money either after dropping $250 on my blueprint 1803 18" driver.So I guess we will most likely have to use piezos.  I dont really like the sound of them, but hopefully we can find a nice one for the price.
As for the woofer, a 10" or 12" eminence alpha series would fit the bill perfectly.
What do you guys think?  Are there any compression drivers out there that cost 30 or less?  That are of decent quality?  I figure about 80 for two woofers, 60 for two HF drivers will leave 60 dollars for xover parts and enclosures.  Can it be done?  Thanks.
