Now that I have my main speakers sorted out (Ethos) I am looking for a matching center.
The ML centers are very hard to find second hand and very expensive, so I am looking to create one myself with a single Aerius I can buy for little money.
I plan to make a new enclosure for the bass driver(s) that will act as a support for the horizontally mounted ESL panel.
I will transfer the electronics from the Aerius enclosure to the new one.
A Crown XLS 1002 will act as the active crossover and amplifier for the bass section and ESL panel.
Two questions:
1. The Aerius panel crossover is 500 Hz, can it realistically play any lower?
2. I want the new bass enclosure to go as deep as possible (matching the Ethos), but it also has to play up to 500 Hz, see question 1. What driver or drivers could I use? The enclosure can be up to 3.5 cu.ft nett volume and I can of course make it sealed, vented or with a passive radiator, depending on the drivers.
As this will be a low budget project I am not looking spend big money on the bass driver(s).
