About a year ago I helped a friend put together an identical system to the one you propose. Onken enclosures, D130 woofers, 175 drivers, N1200 crossover. Sounded great. If you want a sub, try an active sub to begin with. The most important issue would be what horns to use on the 175 drivers. I would suggest the cast aluminum conicals from Acoustic Horn Company. They would be perfect. I use them myself.Normally, Bill Woods from Acoustic Horn would design your crossover network inclusive in the price of the horns, but I believe Bill thinks the stock crossover made by JBL for these two well regarded drivers is pretty much ideal. So you should be plug and play after your cabinet maker is finished.
I doubt you would be hunting for a new speaker project anytime soon after completing the above.
