Remember that Russel is not using just any old equalizer, its a specialized equalizer designed specifically for the speakers that he uses. You can't reproduce his equalizer. When you are done with all the hole cutting and all the work, you'd probably be better off with a point source speaker system with high quality speakers.

I say that if you have all that money to throw away, and all that time to throw away, Heck! go for it. Just don't come back and complain later that there don't seem to be any highs, and that you just don't have any bass.

When I built my three way electronically crossed Tri-amped line array, I turned it on with just the wide range 3.5 inch mid ranges, first. It was fabulous! And then I added the tweeters and then the bass, and discovered how I was deluded by the low distortion in the mid range, the dynamic range, and the giant sound stage. What I didn't have was any highs above 6000 nor any lows below 200.

Good luck.
