Gave this a quick check to see if I'm the right ball game.
The 13mm slot vents (wood pieces) are big enough, was a little worried about that.
As it sits here, the Fs is 45hz (too low) can simply trim vents down to raise it.
Generator & volt meter test:
35hz @ 4 volts
45 valley
85hz @ 7 volts
Going strong to 50hz, there is a dip around 100hz, but haven't trimmed/raised the tuning yet.
The speaker sounds pretty smooth

Thanks Dave...all ready staying up at night thinking about dots 
My drivers are a little different, they have a flat back (magnet) which I might glue cork on.
I might re-do the silicon; it looks messy now, will try a softer brush. Will slip a piece of paper in the VC for protection.
My son stopped by, I had Alan Jackson on; he was amazed at the sound.
[all my good CDs got stolen at work, so using sons collection. The Alan Jackson CDs are very well done recordings (btw, he has 50 top hits). I never would have thought light country would sound good on small, single cone speakers]
They do sound very nice, I didn't hear the "plastic" sound. They are dipping down pretty low; sound like a 7" in a BR box. However I want to raise the bass level just a bit, just for the wow factor. I'll try a BSC. Although, the bass really dips down (sub woofer territory) 20' away....wavelength I guess
All said, they didn't quite have the same depth and imaging as the fostex with the mods, not bad though, might make some more.
btw, ordered the expensive wool $50 bucks, its not fluffy enough; 7oz just filled 1/2 the box, so I tuned them upside down (gravity). Back to the craft store, might have to open a few bags; they have racks of different textures.

All of my music is stored on two different computers and three different hard drivers. The CD's are in boxes. I have complete lists and receipts for my downloads. Security: Two or more copies that cannot be subject to a common disaster.

I guess you are just spooling .wav files off the hard-drive? What are you using for the pre-amp?
I know what I'd like to try/find; a good preamp with digital input. The Koerica player I'm using has a RCA digital out, never used it.
(when my buddy and I looked for a good player and found the Koerica;we went to several HiFi shops, it did stand out as a better sounding player)

Any number can be "even" if you use the right units -- even if you have to invent your own :^)

Now that the speaker has some hours on it , it sounds different; the bass is taking over. It is really strong, but natural sounding. I think the wide flare ports enhance the bass (a lot), or maybe the silicon (which I could remove).
[it does not need a BSC]
The imaging is nice, a very nice sound stage, my only complaint is it could use a little more sparkle on the high end.
Maybe a tweeter, rolled off very high, not sure the woofer would need much help (rolled off), maybe nothing at all.
I have a pair of DIY set-on-top tweeters, they look better than they sound ($10 bucks). I'll give them a try with a really small cap.
