DIY Wilson Clone Speakers?

I'm interested if anyone has found plans on the net for building speakers similar to Wilson's. I have toyed with the idea of building speakers based around the already legendary Focal Audium TLC tweeter and other Focal / Scan Speak speakers that are used in the Wilson Grand Slam III.

Anybody seen plans out there? The part I'm most nervous about is the crossovers, their components and design.

Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad

It was fun! At times frustrating but well worth it. I was concerned with same issues, Steved is mentioning, and used extensive bracing (check North Creek Music) and a lot of lead sheet inside the "Watt" cabinet to mimik density and weight of the original cabinet materials. X-over is easy but parts can be expensive. If you have any more questions you can e-mail me.

Sjh, by mistake i posted the same link twice. However, you can, from the first link access the links for the whole project. My experiance is very positive. Had to lower the volume of the woofer box for about 8ltr.s, rest is relatively "idiot-proof" design, including the First order crossover.
