I am completely ignorant when it comes to designing speakers. I can build, just don't know anything about designing.

I'm going to use my ART arrays in my home theater. I would like to use the same drivers for a center channel speaker. I don't want to make a MMMMTMMMM or even a MTM for a variety of reasons that I'm sure people reading this know already.

I'm would like to make either "bookshelf" style enclosure using the same tweeter and woofer, or possibly a "half array" with the tweeter and 4 woofers.

Here are my questions:
* What dimensions should I use for the bookshelf enclosure?
* What dimensions should I use for the half array enclosure?
* Would I use the same crossover as in the ART array? If not, how would I change it?

I'm hoping the answer is simple... use the same crossover, and just chop one array in half, but I thought I would check. Thanks for your help. I can't wait to hear these things (so close, just waiting for veneer before installing drivers).

The answer may be fairly simple.

Most people who use line arrays find that they don't need a center speaker.
