I built the 2.5 way version with the 2nd woofer in the middle position. Like Din04 said "you need to be handy with a saw and such" but I too think that they sound great. Be sure you know what type of speaker you are trying to build because while these speakers are high quality audiophile sound they do not put out a high spl. So if your trying to build a Rock concert level speaker Id pick a different speaker. Mine play loud enough to do hearing damage. However, "if you are playing at 10 and want to go to 11" these wont do it.
I need to do a follow up to this post too.  I still have these speakers and love them.  I have been listening to a lot of speakers at several high end audio retailers as well as at friends houses as well and I have not heard any speakers that do what these do for this price.  Speakers costing up to 10k start to sound as good as mine and any thing less is not worth listening too.  I have mine in a 34 foot long room that is 12 to 20 feet wide (a stair case in the middle of the room chokes it down to 12)  I have them about 5-6 feet off the back wall and I have a large 18" sub. I believe the room size is very important to speaker selection and YMMV but these things dont get enough credit.  If you're out there John Krutke.  you da man.  my original post 2010. 10 years later these things still sound amaze balls.
I dont think you need to sell your 2 way just upgrade.  the kits are the same aren't they? I think it would it be easier to buy some 2.5 crossovers and one more set  the 7' scanspeaks and I  guess you would also have to change your cabinet because they are smaller.  hmmmm.  Unfortunately i cant speak as to what the difference in sound would be from the 2 to 2.5 as Ive never heard the 2 version.
