I've had the components since January and I am about to start building the enclosures this weekend.
I noticed Fred built a pair with centered drivers. Is there an advantage doing it this way?
I also saw that there is an updated crossover. I will go with the original crossover to begin with because I have the parts, but may look into building the alternative for comparison.
Anything else I should consider before I begin?
Thanks in advance.

So.... Fred,
We're talking about line arrays without a tweeter line? With a tweeter line, the center is an imaginary line down the edge of the 3 inch midrange speaker in my speakers, since I have a tweeter line.
I seem to think that I read somewhere that these baffle adjustments only make a difference for point source speakers but when you start lining up more than 8 speakers in a line source that the issues dissolve to smaller and smaller db loss until its below 1 db which is not hearable in music(maybe in single tones though).
Isn't here a piece of software that shows the loss with different numbers of speakers due to baffle effects?

Fred,
Only the bass unit is a line array with 8 inch woofers and a heavy duty equalizer. The other speaker that looks like an array is NOT. It is an wmmtmmw where the "w" is a mid bass unit, and the "t" is a revelator tweeter with a "horn" type waveguide.
"...with four 5" Gryphon midbass drivers (two at the top and two at the bottom) and four of the 5" Gryphon midrange drivers originally developed for the Cantata (two directly above and two directly below the central high frequency driver).
"The legendary Scan Speak Revelator ring radiator high-frequency driver is modified with a 1 kg aluminum housing, designed by Gryphon for perfect time alignment and minimal diffraction."
