From everything I have heard about them the Parts Express Reference series midwoofers should work well in a line array. A full array of ribbon tweeters would be nice but it's going to raise the price quite a bit - eight Fountek JP2's per side will cost you $1,600 or more. Another alternative would be to go with the PE 6" or even the 7" reference midwoofers with as single Fountek ribbon placed midway in the array. You can build these for about $1K total including all the parts and the enclosure materials. You can get this as a kit with completed crossovers from Selah Audio for $800, which is little more than you would pay if you bought it all yourself. The main advantage in buying the kit is that you get the already-designed and tested enclosure plans and crossovers, which are the big challenge for the DIY'er who doesn't have test equipment. Scroll down to the third speaker in the link below.
