Hi,
I just finished 4 surrounds and a center with the TB W3-871s driver. The mains and surrounds are 2L ported tuned to around 90hz, and the center is around 5L ported also tuned to 90hz, with one driver rolled off per Jim Griffin's recommendation (basically an Elph 1.5 clone).
I hooked them up to my system downstairs, and ran them wit my AV12 PR sub, and was very impressed. I don't know if there is a real benefit to using the 2 drivers for the center instead of another matching single driver, but it definitely looks cool. I think there is a bit more power handling.
These are for my sister-in-law, along with a 12" 80L sealed sub with an SVS original driver and PE 250 plate amp.
I was pleasantly surprised with how nice the PE contact vinyl worked in the end. It was a pain to trim the rounded corners and the driver holes, but it still looks pretty good.
Many thanks to Jim Griffin and Brian Bunge, who answered lots of questions and got me headed in the right direction!
