I really doubt the Dayton tweeter is capable of that without having significant distortion down low at the crossover point. I would personally use a deep waveguide to obtain that waveguide gain to push the distortion lower. Augerpro has an 8 inch waveguide for this specific tweeter which can also help time align to the woofers as well.
Most 1" exit compression drivers can be crossed below 1kHz and many here do that.even most 1" exit compression drivers dont.
The Emerald Physics CS2 comes with d220ti with active crossover set to 1k 48/LR.can you think of any commercial design doing that?
You must listen LOUD.simply lowering a d220ti from 1500 to 1200 LR2 on a jbl pt (using a dsp) significantly increased the number of broken diaphragms.
I haven't had to replace my d220ti diaphragms in my EP CS2......ever.

Have you inverted the polarity on the tweeters like in the picture?Inspired by New Record Day video about the Caladan by Clayton Shaw, I decided to do it DYI since shipping costs to Japan are ridiculous (and no international deliveries at the moment provided). My MiniDSP serves as an active crossover for two ICEPower 125ASX2 amplifiers. They sound amazing, using a Linkwitz-Riley filter 48db at 1kHz and some gain in the low end, Never thought open baffle speaker can have such a lot of low end, while the speaker membrane is barely moving. The speaker disapear and you feel like in a live concert. This works also for my music with distorted guitars, not only for the high end demo music. Bass guitars sound so real. This is the first day listening to them after waiting 3months for the delivery of the 12inch speaker drivers....I guess no burn in needed. Clayton Shaw chose the perfect drivers.....

Beautiful build. How did you come up with the XO? Have you tried measuring a speaker from listening position to see at least the bass is working within reason?I have completed mine. After about 200 hours burn-in I try them and don't sound that good. For that reason I was trying to use a mini DSP 2x4 HD. Any suggestions?
