Can someone help me out with what the actual differences are between the four different Faital Pro 12PR3X0 woofers?
They really don't differ that much in price.
Faital Pro 12PR300 12" Mid-bass Speakers - Faital Pro 12PR300 mid-bass speaker and bass 12" speaker that has a lightweight neodymium magnet - Faital Pro 12PR300 600 watt 12" high efficiency of 99dB SPL woofer for all high power mid-bass and bass appl
Faital Pro 12PR310 12" Mid-bass Speakers - Faital Pro 12PR310 mid-bass speaker and bass 12" speaker - Faital Pro 12PR310 600 watt 12" high efficiency of 99dB SPL woofer for all high power mid-bass and bass applicati
Faital Pro 12PR320 12 inch Bass Guitar Speakers - Faital Pro 12PR320 mid-bass speaker and bass 12 inch speaker that has a lightweight neodymium magnet - Faital Pro 12PR320 600 watt 12 inch has efficiency of 97dB SPL and high Xmax of 7.37mm speaker fo
Faital Pro 12PR330 12" Mid-bass Speakers - Faital Pro 12PR330 mid-bass speaker and bass 12" speaker - Faital Pro 12PR330 600 watt 12" high efficiency of 99dB SPL woofer for all high power mid-bass and bass applicati
Differences I see, Neo vs. Ferrite magnets, 42-54Hz FS, 97-99dB sensitivity, and some small variations in TS parameters.
But in the end, they all model out to 52-54Hz F3 in a 56 litre (two cubic feet) enclosure.
I am looking to match one of these to a Celestion CDX1-1746 compression driver in a not so econo econowave type two way for home use.
What would be the best choice and why?
Thank you,
David.

If the nominal 97dB sensitivity is enough for you I would choose the 12PR320. It have a neo magnet, lowest Fs and probably the lowest non-linear distortion of them.
The 12PR300 looks good too but Fs is a little high and xmax is a little low at least according to the datasheets.

12PR300, but you will need corner / wall placement ( especially with a narrow baffle ) and a bit of eq. Low inductance, and the impedance trace looks great.
If you had a different compression driver able to be crossed lower ( Celestion suggests 2200 hz, and the plane wave tube appears to show a Fs around 1500 hz, but it is not listed in the datasheet ) I'd actually suggest the 12PR320 instead, it has the lowest EBP.
All of them will need some eq on the bottom end in order to not sound thin, especially with a narrow baffle. I'd also suggest sticking close to wall and floor boundaries for the woofer to bring up the midbass.

Voicecoil length is the major difference. If you're not using subs I would go for the higher xmax drivers.
Even go to a 15" if the size isn't a problem.

David,
how did your project go?
I'd also like to second your question: what makes a good (12") woofer? I ordered two Eminence Kappalite 3012LF-8, because of their base extension (Fs 37). But the Faital 12pr320 has a smoother response, Vas is also very good. Now I'd like to know how I can make an informed judgement. Anybody?

Why do you assume the 12PR320 has lower distortion, can you explain me the technical causes for this?
