It is one of the long running Vifa classics. I need confirmation on model the # for the mid bass driver's please if available.

P17 for sure. Question is which one, it is the 37mm voice coil, but what magnet? The weight might give a clue (data sheet). The tweeter seems proprietary, but could be any SEAS 22mm with custom front.
You guys are correct. I thought the pair I recently sold were also the marked ones.
The stratus mini sound super nice with strong clean running amps. But they are less than efficient to say the least. I suspect the crossovers are to blame for them being as current hungry.
I became curious how active would sound, so I hooked them up active. I thought I may of over driven them and damaged a driver but I was wrong. It was just a wire making contact inside.

If you want a nice flat response from a small 2 way, in most cases a judicious amount of BSC is needed, which on a small baffle will kill efficiency - sometimes dropping to low 80s dB/W. What size series inductor is on the midbass LP?
Do not count on the PSB driver being the same P17 available to diyers. I had a box of 20 and they were a different spec.

Its not a problem my 2ch amp has no trouble with them. I was noticing and reflecting back to when some others has pointed it out.
I did not check values of those coils. I'll try to track down a full schematic of the xover.
I found that to be the case with certain drivers and plate amps. That got special treatment at the factory however the model numbers left in tact. They should some way tip the customer of procedures imo.
Well, a P17WJ-15 wouldn't be that different from a P17WJ-00, I think. For sure PSB could have ordered different voice coil values. But did they do so?
