Larry, I too have just finished my 4345 build but I have gone the full active crossover route again ... using the new dbx 360 venu..it just awesome...you have to experience it .. passive is old tech that audiophiles cant get let go...yes its a bit more involved but active embraces the dsp, digital world..Remember gents the M2's that everybody wants..... they are active.

Well gents just configured the DBX venu 360 and the results are spectacular ! the auto eq feature has made this the only way to go. Throw the passive xovers away! I can change anything on the fly... xover points, slopes, polarity, room eq etc... you just keep tweeking your build. Definitely the best money i have spent on this hobby thus far.
I have used it as a 3way stereo xover configuration ...2x6 and plugged the last two outputs into a behringer to take care of the lows.. ie.. the 10 and 18. The wizard takes care of it all.. gain, levels etc... Imaging is great , the sound floor is super quiet. The RTA mic takes 4 measurements in the room and the processor does its thing. And the best thing... I do it all on my Mac Air or Ipad. My dac runs directly into the DBX.
cheers,

The CNC lenses where tough to make but i think they turned out well, cut enough for 3 sets for all my 43xx.

Super cool!

If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
so you have an 8ch amp or you have some hidden amp?
I also would like to try this DBX and maybe keep Tubes and passive just for the MF and UHF
with USB connection he is working as a DAC? you also use in Analog with double conversion?
Great reading that the DBX worked so well. I currently have a Peavey VSX 26, which serves its purpose but will be moved to subwoofer duty once I get the DBX unit next year.
