I built something similar using nine Neo8 PDR's and twelve Dayton Audio RS180's. You'll find two unexpected characteristics of a line array that will effect your design. First, you don't get a doubling of sensitivity with each doubling of the number of drivers in the tweeter array. With four Neo 8's the sensitivity will be about the same as with one Neo 8. Second, the standard crossover values that would be correct for a point source woofer are incorrect for an array of woofers. The increase of sensitivity that's caused by an array of woofers isn't linear across the frequency spectrum. Most of the increase occurs at the lower frequencies. This will effect the value of the crossover components. In the case of my array I used a second order woofer / third order tweeter crossover at 1khz. https://fredt300b.smugmug.com/Hobbies/Towers-of-Awesomeness/
