Thanks for your suggestions.
Yes, a bigger LF driver than the LA 10" would probably be worth the effort and cost. Maybe I should continue to use my proven Dayton CD/horn combo and just concentrate on getting a bigger woofer and alter the XO to match.

Good move. Just be sure that your newer, bigger driver can do low enough Fs in a box size you can live with or you'll be on yet another journey.
The original style waveguides are on sale at P.E.. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-h6512-6-1-2-x-12-waveguide-1-3-8--18-tpi--270-318
Could someone share a crossover parts list (using the adjustable switch) with currently-available parts for the D220Ti + QSC 152i waveguide?
I'll be using them combined with a Kenwood KL 888X 16" midwoofer from the 80's.
I'd originally rebuilt the KL 888X with a larger, stiffer enclosure. But really the sound of my old D220Ti setup from years ago.
And the budget is right on them (or I'd go with the D250 or something else).
Thanks!

Wow, thanks @turnitdown !
Everything was in stock except the D220Ti which is now Part # 264-270. I guess it's just a revised version and probably won't cause any issues.
$207 for two-each of everything.
Then I use my existing waveguides & woofers and modify my existing cabinet.
Can't wait to start this project next week!!!!

Post a picture of the woofers front and back Please. Hifi engine says the woofers were crossed at 3,000 hz so you should be good. https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/kenwood/kl-888x.shtml
Trio T100105-05 is the markings on the back. Pics attached. Thanks for the investigative work!

You're going to need the right adapters to put the screw-on CD on the bolt-on horn. I bought a set to do just that and they fit the CD mouth snug up to the horn throat.
I'm diggin' someone else doing a new build.
I must have forgotten about this from back in the day when I was doing my first econowave.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll search the thread for adapter info!
My first econowave attached.
An UGLY but wonderful sounding build based on the JBL 4507.

Excellent!. I would bet they DO sound good. What woofer did you use for that first build?
Built my crossovers yesterday for my le14a ewaves. Tried them out on top of the boxes and they sound pretty decent. Big thanks to wiredbecker for all the advice. One other question re le14a polarity. As per this post a while back. So in the ewave schematic does thusbtake into account the polarity issue is positive to black terminal on the LF? Or am I misunderstanding the issue. Thanks guys.

Flip the cab over to get the LE14 closer to the CD/WG and see if it gets better.
