Your using damn cheap speakers.
Combining multiple cheap speakers will NOT yield you a good result, doubly so when you consider the following
Setting up a 3-way system, ise exponentially harder than a 2-way. Doubly so if you dont have any crossovers. Triply so, when you consider it really warrants a lot of custom work to mount the speakers in a way that wont sound like bum.
But you want a 4-way system, and your using 4 cheap drivers to do it. Are you aware those are the prices for each speaker?
Thats $1120 in speakers, before you even look at installation and cabling.
For that kind of price, i guarantee you, you can buy a set of 2-ways with a crossover that will crap all over this setup.
This is why it pays to ask first, buy later. I will *never* understand why people do the opposite, buy something and *then* ask about it just a day later.
Its a little unclear...have you already bought them all?
More. Is. Not. Better.

He is asking before he gets anything.
also its for home theatre so installation isnt a big problem i would think
I agree I cant see you making that sound as good as something that has had a lot of research poured into crossover points levels etc,
If you want to do it then do it by all means but dont expect a miracle at least first shot, should be an interesting experiment tho
