hi, i'm looking for a speaker in a small boombox. i have came up with this 2 drivers-->
kartesian sub 120 with 6,5 mm Xmax , 53,5cm2 cone erea and happy in 1,7 liter
purify ptt4.0 with 8,5 mm xmax, 56,7cm2 cone erea and happy in 2,55 liter
both speakers are in a 4,2 liter enclosure tuned to 42 hz. the kartesian can handle 80 watt RMS vs 60 watt RMS of the purify. both are given the same wattage and the kartesian can play louder below 50 hz ( not noticable but everything counts in this project ) and cost about 90 bucks ( euro ) vs 300 bucks of the purify 4.0
kartesian is my choice between this 2 drivers but i'm curious if there is a slightly better 4 inch driver or something wich is happy in a 2 liter enclosure and has even better power handling and xmax. i don't think so but i'm just curious if people on this forum maybe know about some driver... thanks!!

Kartesian recommend a crossover at 2500hz so i was thinking about a dayton tweeter wich can crossed over at 2200hz. The Kartesian website is down for some reason but TLHP ( the seller ) stated a 80 watt continous power handling and 150 watt peak.

the Kartesian is almost 4 times cheaper and because i gonna make a boombox where other parts can affect the sound to ( cheap modules or converters ) it seems like the best driver to spend money on. BUT the Purify is nice to with its very low distortion, hugh xmax and at least 3 times less distortion at the low bass range!
thanks, i wanted to use this driver first but the costs where to high and the enclosure would be 30+ liters. the Kartesian is in the same category but smaller. the Epique has a lower THD at max wattage but both are looking great on paper!! it would be insane if they make a 4 inch Epique with like 120 watt RMS power handling and 8,5mm excursion like the 4.0 Purify!!
yeah it comes close Xmax wise but need a large cabinet en have low power handling
