Here's one on Parts Express Tech Talk by noted designer PWR RYD (Craig) apologies, I don't know his surname:

At least in Oz, the drivers are still available

My apologies, that design is for the RS150P, you have the aluminium version.
Geoff
It's cool, appreciate the look.....

Tyger23 did a TM with the XT25:

I did the Targas with a Tangband tweeter:
techtalk.parts-express.com/forum/speaker-project-gallery/48970-targas-rs150-and-tangband-28-537-tm
The design gives a good starting point. da25bg, xt25 (yes I'm fond of the xt), rst28, nd28, heck I'd imagine about any decent tweeter would mate with them. Whatever you choose, you have plenty of resources to help line things out.
I was thinking of mating them with whatever decent tweeter came up on sale/dotd, build em', and gift them to a friend.
I know of a couple. Jeff Bagby's Dreydels use the Seas 27TDFC tweeters. I have an older design with the BG Neo3PDR. I can dig up some info on that if you are interested.

This one's also from PETT, it's 10 years old but the Vifa BC25SC06 tweeter is still available; no idea what it sounds like, of course. XO looks rather complex:

Back about 10 years ago or so I built a design by Jeff Bagby (I thought they were the Dreydels?). Anyway they used the RS150S-8 and RS28AS-4. Pretty simple crossover and they sounded really great! Amazing bass from about IIRC 7 liters. Unfortunately I had one of my home brewed tube amps go wonky and it sent a lot of pure DC to the speakers and fried both woofers before I could kill power.....
Patrick knows what he is doing, build his.
While I've never heard one of Patrick's personally, I absolutely agree that his pudding has proof.

Weren't we talking about this a couple weeks ago?
Noted in the thread Geoff linked.
J.Lee ... "I like the use of pine. Do you have a reason why? " Godzilla" over at DIY is stuck on the stuff - claim's it gives a 'warmer' tone than MDF or Baltic Birch."
patrickm ... "main reason in both cases here was aesthetic. it probably does give a warmer tone because it's not as acoustically dead as denser materials."
Wow! Thanks guys, super useful and what's funny is I had stumbled on his design and it was top two. Some glowing rec's, so I'll definitely roll with it.
Who is Patrick?
