$500 retail? After markup?
So, $100-$150 worth of parts? Including drivers, crossover and cabinet?
Sounds like a waste of time to me.
I'll leave it to others to take $20 drivers from China and make something that simply "doesn't sound horrible" for the $500 retail price point.
You're asking designers to put in effort using crap components.
So my response is "Why bother".
Cheers,
Presto
