Humble low cost computer monitor system...driver specs are killing me!

Wouldn't hurt to try. You may need to adjust the values though.
In theory, shouldn't you be able to place the mid\woof higher in the cabinet? Your goal is different here than it would be for a single driver system. If so, you might be able to build a separate enclosure for the 871 inside the TL that matches the specs for John's filter.

The idea for the TL originated here, so that dictated the position for the mid-woofer.
Yeah, I thought about sealing the TB with a plastic cup.
Will have to see how that goes together with the active-XO and the XO-point.
Will probably try one of those nothes:

Dave, I hesitate to do any modifications but just might ty it if nothing helps.

Sorry for threadjacking Jim.

thanks everybody

A vented alignment should have more power handling than a sealed alignement if designed and implemented correctly. Further, in this application, you can design a vented alignment specifically to get more SPL than a conventional vented alignment by designing a bump in the response and then using a simple active filter to get rid of the hump. This results in significantly more power handling and output.
