I have been lurking around for a couple of weeks, and decided it was time to ask for some help. I have followed the 4430 quick and dirty thread but, it keeps going on tangents, and I have a couple of specific questions I would love to get answers for.

I have made a pair of 4430 type clones but, I used my own 12db/oct. 1khz crossover based on the dcr of the drivers, and a driverack to eq them. When playing at louder volumes, they seem to be a bit harsh. So, I am wondering if I should try to clone the 4430 crossover (is this a 18dB/oct. for the HP) to see if they play a bit smoother or just roll my own 3rd order and let the driverack do the rest? I would just bi-amp it but, that would require another amp which is not in the budget yet.

Thoughts to share?

Thanks
