Which 15 or 18 ınch woofer- best for open baffle

[MRJAZZ]

Can anyone recommend a 15 inch that can work from 50 to 1kHZ in a 22 inch wide open baffle?
I will be using 2 15 's per side in a vertical alignment.
Thanks.....

I think 1 kHz is quite high for a 15 incher... sound may bundle and get less detailed at top-end. The Pure audio project Neo woofer was used up till 950 Hz so it can do it. Perhaps you could still buy it separately if you ask Zeev nicely. But consider to add a mid(bass) driver...

Acoustic Elegance TD15 is second to none.

Dual gap motors like JBL Differential Drive or 18 Sound Tetracoil claim to offer some the lowest IMD in the market.

JBL 2216ND or 18 Sound 15NTLW3500 look like good options.

You mentioned JBL and 18 Sound, however,
In your opinion, overall the Acoustic Elegance would be the best option to cover 50 hz to 900/1 kHz?....

Only going from what others have measured/experienced.

AE have the most shorting paths in their motors.
