What, for an example, would be a good blend with the EL70's?

I remember a rule of thumb for vented box, - max 2xVas = 2x27,24 = 54,48 liter. Or 2x1662 cubic inches = 3325 cubic inches = 1,924 cubic foot.
The metric system is so much easier.

Itīs possible to build towers with vent on top, just behind the EL70, but i have no idea of how it would behave in practice. And donīt forget CG centre of gravity.

Uhhm...
I've been re-thinking a little.
Maybe it's possible to have three modules. The RSW-1060's for the deeper bass (but going higher at the beginning) and then something else that takes the mid-bass?
You said that RSW-1060 wouldn't blend good and have much SQ but maybe it would be good for like 20(or 25) to 40/50hz or something and then something else takes like 40/50 to like 200 or something?
But the mid-bass will have to be later in that case, lack of cash you know...
Would that be possible?

EL70 has an xmax of 4,5mm (9mm p-p). I think there should be no problems.

If you donīt get happy with 1060, CSS SDX-10 XBL works fine in the same vented box round 45 liter.

So i can make a 45-50l vented box for RSW-1060 and later just swap the drivers to SDX10?

Exactly, you just have to correct dimensions of venttubes.
Hehe.. now you got something to long for.

Yeah, maybe. But will the SDX10 match my EL70's better?

Qts governs max Vb or ~150.2 L for this driver based on published specs.

Depends on what you learned in elementary school. I was in my 40s before I had to start including metric in my engineering drawings and for whatever reason I still can't make the mental conversion to catch such a gross typing error that I would never make using the Imperial system.

What surprises/depresses me is that even though there was a Federal edict for the USA to convert to metric decades ago, it's for the most part still not taught to our youngsters in public schools except in a high school Chemistry course, but once out in the world they have little/no use for it in everyday life.

Yes. SDX10 is a REALLY nice driver. I have 4 here now for a pair of push-push woofers.
