As one of the perpetrators, I should chip in, I guess.

Lower crossover for the RCA was 430Hz. All slopes were 4th order. I did try shallower, but we preferred the steeper slopes and it does make it easier. With a lot of work, I think shallower slopes could be mad to work well also. We tried crossing the S2 a little higher and a little lower than 1.5kHz, but this seemed to give the best sound on the day.

It was far from perfect and you are right, it took most of Sunday to understand what was happening. It was an interesting exercise and lot of fun trying it out. Of course it was not meant to be taken too seriously, but I was surprised at how well it worked. A bit raw is probably a good description!

Edit: we needed the bass system in the middle as they are designed to combine to give a larger mouth area, splitting them would have affected the LF response and even as they were they did not go that low(~35Hz).
