OK - added some notes - stick it in the dropbox if you think appropriate.
Is the registration closed for Greenboy? I don't see a link to register, just login for existing users. Is the crossover available or not? If it's not I won't waste my time trying to log in to look at it. This post starts out by saying that the crossover is available and supplies a link, but it's password protected. Or how about another link that's not password protected? Or should I just give up?
Hello, Im Bill Cornish, the one that started this whole thing... I got my flat pack from speakerhardware, and it is not cut for a XD125. Will the other tweeters work, or would there be some component changes? So appreciative of all the work/support... I had already ordered the flatpack when I thought of the T3W....
1212/6/1. Just the wood. (missing 3 pieces)… I built several 12/6/1Cubes with CBG x-0vers.. Alpha 6, ASD1001 tweeter. I asked for the tweeter cut option, and the 1212/6/1 came cut for the ASD 1001. I was unaware that the T3W would have a different tweeter.
You have the square cutout, not the octagonal one? If it is square and you want to use an XD125, you could enlarge the hole to the right shape and fill in the square corners that stick out by gluing in some scraps. A jab saw or coping saw would probably do it.
The tweeter needs to have enough sensitivity to keep up with the 6ND410 running with no padding. Any combination that works with a 15/6/1 should be OK - they are listed third row of the table on page 2 of the T3W blurb. Some of the tweeter crossovers are complicated because the drivers and horns can be uncooperative, requiring some taming. The XD125 is the exception, with a simple crossover. It is also relatively light-weight and can run hellishly loud, but any of the listed combinations will work.

meh.. the ASD on the Dayton horn xover aint any harder to build that the XD assembly is it? Maybe go ASD/Dayton and then no need to whittle on the hole.

Hey, all.
I think I'm about to try the T3W crossover on my 15/6/1, but I'm still on the fence.
I have no idea (after reading this thread, and others) if I will be able to hear a difference that will justify the time and money needed for the project... not to mention the very real possibility of me screwing something up! I didn't build the cab, myself, and I'm a bit hesitant to get in there and make changes.
I'm just trying to get more info on the process of installing the T3W, as well as the perceived differences in sound before I dive in and make a mess of things.
Has anyone here been able to A/B two 15/6/1 cabs with the T3W and CBG crossovers?
Thanks!

What issue are you having with your current crossover that you're trying to fix? Be easier to know if the T3W will address your concerns if we know what those are.
I went to the T3W because I use amp/cab emulation and wanted basically a blank canvas to work with. A studio monitor that can take huge power. I've also used it for e-drums. Worked great for all the above. Have used it with standard bass amps with great results as well. If you're not looking for more high end, I would stick with the CBG.
