My plan is to make them look something like these:

But with dual 8" subs, ports on the front, near the bottom.
I'm thinking of using the following components:
Subs
Tweets
Crossover
What does everyone think of Dayton drivers? And the quality of the crossover I posted?
I've mainly done work in car audio, namely in installations, so home audio is relatively new to me. My main reference for home speakers is a pair of old Boston Acoustics A60s that I've had for years, which use an 8" woofer and tweeter. I've always thought these sounded good, but they're wearing out and I'd like something louder.
Also, is there a rule of thumb for the distance CTC for mounting dual woofers? What about tweeter mounting? I've mainly seen DIY speakers with the tweeters mounted off center, and I wasn't sure if this has some advantage.
Any comments or advice is appreciated!
PS. Does anyone know if it's a good idea to order from partsexpress.com if I'm in Canada?
