I currently have these in a pair of Pensil cabs but don't have the room to keep them.
What small cabs would get the most out of these drivers?
Minionken?
I've also read about the Golden Ratio cabs?
I like bass extention so what would be your recommendation for a small cabinet to get the most out of these drivers?
Thanks..

Good question, as a smaller cabinet usually means less bass extension.
Check out Scott's Titania design: https://www.markaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Titania-Alpair-10P-classic-DCR.png

Historically, what we call a midbass prosound alignment was the norm, so Vb = Vas/1.414, Fb = 1.56x Fs. For bass extension it's all about box size, Fs, so what are your max o.d. HxWxD?
You're welcome!
I made my own (for the 10.3M, but t/s specs are almost the same, and the 10P also fits). But those of planet10 and Scottmoose are well designed and tested by many who build them. Scott works for Mark Audio as consultant from time to time and most of the designs on the website of Mark Audio are from his hand and should be quiet good.
Mine are in 17.9L reflex cabinets tuned to about 45Hz, Plans are here, but don't use the filter on the 10P, that is very specific for the 10.3. I love these speakers, they are the ones i listen most to (also because they are in my office). You can tune them lower even, but then the cabinet soon comes a lot bigger (like GM says)

That is about 5.5 liter internal space with 18mm wood, that is way to small. The smallest i would do is 11L sealed (i use that as top in a 2 way), but then there is not much bass. For ported you need 15-25L (depending on the tuning). That is just physics. In a 5.5L you will have an F3 of 100Hz and an F10 of 62Hz ported so small won't work at all as there is no room for a port. You will even have trouble to just fit in the driver.
Don’t know why the plans popped up today, not from this thread, but the bracveing in these could be better. And a coat or 2 of thinned gloss nmight well obviate the need for a filter.
