This was a fun and challenging build!

Full gallery here.

I ordered some cheap single board amps and power supplies from AliExpress and used a DSP so each speaker (mid/tweet/sub) has their own dedicated amp and fine tune control ability for the frequency drop-offs, gain, etc.

They sound amazing!

Wow that's really cool! Out of curiosity, why did you make the sub cabinet so tall?

I made the sub use a transmission line for porting, which you can see in the full gallery.

This gives it a really low frequency response, but takes up a lot of room.

TIL all about transmission lines. Thanks OP!

Oh, gotcha. I don't know the first thing about building/wiring audio, I just haven't seen a sub with a cabinet that tall before! It looks great under the desk in your setup.
