sounds fun as hobby thing, a programable and configurable device like The DCX will do experiments easier, a good starting piont is to figure out what the passive filters did xover freq filter slopes and more baffle step compensation etc. Even if the passive filter looks simple it can be a considerable amount of thinkinh behind it anyway. Imho such diy should be done for fun and as a hobby, it's hard to compete with ready made stuff , you must be really good or have reqirements that is not provide by the market to save money this way, some designs are not possible to sell even if they are good , things can not be big and uggly ;) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
