My DIY transmission line mini towers with peerless india drivers

Hello Bros ,
Here is my third DIY speaker project after very successful build of a 20 or 30 rupee speaker driver in a cardboard box in 1994 and putting a bolten woofer and some unknown tweeter in a ready made speaker box. Which i never played as i dint have an amplifier and the tape deck at home was not working. That sat there for some years and became food for termites. The bug bite me again in 2011 and after lots of searches i bought two drivers peerless m13 NH midwoofers , t25an tweeters. In between did couple of amplifiers which i could successfully explode . After lots of reading of websites, asking experts for their opinions and spending a long time in research i found that you cannot simply build a speaker by using some on line calculators .You have to simulate them , measure them, bulid them again measure them again make adjustments and this put off me from building it . And thous those drivers ended up in the store room to become some kind of exotic food for termites . Many years passed and recently while cleaning i found that its still there and the termites never snacked upon them. So i thought experts ko maro goli Chalo ek speaker banaye , maximum i am going to loose is money spend on building the cabinet .So i made a TL design following a online calculator . And one of my friends introduced me to Albin who makes PA systems and assembles amplifiers, he made the box as per the specifications . The main thing which kept me from building the speakers earlier was the design of crossovers which was tough and availability of components were scarce at that time . I found a site called 8audio who had electronic crossovers and amp modules. I bought two stereo boards based on LM 1875 and a crossover. Albin made the case and transformers for me and finally my speakers are ready, connected and singing . I cannot comment on the audio quality as its my own creation and i dont have much experience with good stereo amplifiers and speakers to make a comparison. Any body want to listen can come to my home at Thrissur, check out the DIY speakers and enjoy my DIY kattan chaya or kappi and properly designed biscuits from well known companies :p .

My suggestion to all DIY bros is that never wait for doing the perfect design or wait for proper tools like mike or measurements rigs. You are never going to make one if you wait to make it perfect . You may not end up with the perfect speaker but certainly you will learn and you can make improvements in future.
Can you share the box dimensions as i am also making t line towers with full range peerless drivers

My box is tuned for peerless m13nh driver which is a midwoofer , since you are using a full range the box dimensions may be different . I think @Hari Iyer may be help you better as he is a experienced TL designer.
Please share your driver details
