I have been thinking about a way to make some cheap rear surround speakers for my setup and was thinking this. Taking the Tang Band W4-1337SD and Dayton ND20FB-4 and crossing high. Zaph says the tweeter has good distortion performance above 3.5kHz You guys think with the right enclosure these would sound good together. I know there would not be much bass but how much lows really go to the surrounds?

The amount of bass in the rear channels in most surround mixes differ. And I've seen that full range speakers for the rear channels could make the bass worse because low frequencies react to and have cancellations at certain frequencies. So when they are coming from multiple sources (speakers) and bouncing off walls....
IMO, I don't think you will have a bass issue with that setup. Now, if you are looking to have the best Hi-Fi multi-channel setup in the state, maybe something different. but for the above average joe, it should be fine.The Old Woods Theater

A design like this in a small, sealed box will give you flat response to almost 100Hz, rolling off gently below that. If you cross to a Sub around 80Hz, it'll be fairly seamless.
Depending on your definition of "cheap" and what you may already have on hand, the Madisound RB kit is hard to beat. My pair were $100, MDF and paint included. these are very well regarded and mine sound very nice!

The Hivi m4n series makes a great high qts woofer for a sealed box setup. They sound nice and clean in the midrange.--My Speaker building pages http://sites.google.com/site/brianpowers27speakers/
