Hello i think to use Tang Band w5-2143 and Seas ca22rny. They have a similar sensitivity. Both drivers are very good for their price. What you think?
Good Drivers - More Info?
Great project, both of those drivers are well received. How do you plan to use the Tang Band and SEAS 8”? Are you putting them in boxes or planning to use one or more in an OB? Have you figured out where you are setting the Xover point? Sorry for all the questions but knowing your answers will help with giving you best response.

That can certainly work. The TB in a sealed space and the Seas ported or TL with the crossover at 200-300hz would be what i try first
Hello
I still don't have an exact idea. I just know I don't want them to be more than 25cm wide, which is why OB is dropped, or can it be achieved for a Tang band? For example Tang band as OB or closed box, and Seas in ported box .Xover point I think will be around 200Hz. But all these are my thoughts and are subject to change
All my plans are subject to change as well
You can do an OB with a 25cm width. The crossover point would need to be higher but the SEAS 8” can easily be crossed over high enough to take care of that. I’m not pushing you in that direction, however. Whether or not to go OB or boxed is probably the first decision you have to make.
The Tang Band has been used both ways and people have reported good results both ways. The CA22RNY could be used OB but there would probably be better choices there. I forget if the CA22RNY is the big magnet or small magnet version of SEAS’s two paper cone 8” models but which ever model it is it will work well in a properly designed box and that’s easily figured out.
I think you can get excellent results with either OB or boxed systems. Using boxes is more easily designed and the results more predictable for most of us. And, as you said, you have the OB Tang Band, boxed SEAS, as a possibility.
I have built systems of using all three methods and find things to like about each one. For me it would be a decision based on what would cosmetically best fit the room it would be used in. That’s because I have gotten old - when I was young I would have built whatever was most outrageous looking.
