Oh yes! and at one point, this was HALF the rig!

The primary reason why tweeters are offered instead of midrange drivers is cost.[/quote]

I may have said this before, but here goes.

A while back, I had a chance to play with a high end stereo crossover that I cascaded to make a single 96dB/Octave channel.

Playing with the crossover frequencies I determined that there's almost nothing coming out of your bass above 8kHz (slapping, snapping and popping with brand new strings), and very little useful output above 5-6 kHz.

Cabs with a top end of 22kHz is crazy, there's nothing up there but hiss.

If you have a good quality mid, like Alex's Big One or one of Greenboy's fEarful cabs use, you'll have all the useable top you'll ever need.
