Marlboro, these are the 3"x5" full ranges I bought. Can't beat the price:

Now I had a really unusual idea that I would like to get your opinion on. You may dismiss this at first, but give it a little thought before the bashing begins! Very Happy

What about using this for the high frequencies:

This is a very unusual driver. Here's what I am wondering about. Picture those 1"x4" drivers mounted vertically in a column. Maybe 3 full columns obviously touching each other. The entire middle column would be shifted down two inches so that the center aligns with the gap in the first and third column.....sort of like they do brick work.

Going by the white paper, would that not act like ribbon? Basically 3" wide and say 5' tall worth of "tweeters", or maybe 4" wide and 40" tall. Then maybe 24 3x5's running right along side.
