Which pair's of MW will you use on a 2 way system in addition to a 10'' subwoofer system?
i'd figure out the SB29RDNC can reach average 94 db with almost flat from 2000 to 20k... i guess wil be my favourite at moment for my system
for the woofer/sub i will use KEF 10' PSW2010 driver from my old sub cabinet, i will reuse its amp to make active itself powered driver with new cabinet included in tower setup. (will use it in reflex box with FB40hz)
for the midbass section I'm undecided on what to use, most likely I will opt for a 30-litre sealed box with double drivers system.
my possible drivers are:
1. SB16PFCR20
2. RS-180P Dayton audio
3. Ciare HWB160
4. Hertz (for caraudio) MP165.3
5. Tang Band W6-623I
6. Ciare HW172
7. Scan Speak 18W/8424G00
any advice?
Thanks

30l sealed seems far too big for 2 x 7" imho, half of that would suffice. Apart from that the Scan and the Dayton seem the best options, while the Tang Band offers a double roll surround, which might offer some advantages (but measurements should prove that). Any thoughts about using a waveguide on the tweeter?
i actually watching for Hertz MP165.3 , you can see detail in attachment.
they have 7mm xmax, and 70hz Fs, they should naturally highpass in closed box.
Vituixcad encloser at 30liter are enough for them..
About tweeter with waveguide.. no i will use flushmount tweeter install.

Don't mix up Xmech with Xmax. The Hertz bottoms out at 7mm, but that is not the kind of excursion you are looking for if you're out for some quality sound reproduction. The Dayton for instance has 6mm one way Xmax, so if you're into loud SPL, that would be a better choice.
Also if you are planning on two drivers I would suggest looking for 8 ohm units so you can connect them in parallel.
You're right about xmax, but the value can be a way to evaluate the works-end of driver.. (how far can we go). Im not looking pretty SPL feature, PA audio is another matter, but on reasonable level hertz looks safe .
The dayton have irregular response from 1 to 2khz, and important breakup over 5k.. its also won't like 30liter , should be less than, i really don't like his response.. maybe in 3 way can be more xover friendly...
maybe im wrong?
Years ago I pulled off a RS180 and 25mm dome design quite well. But taming the resonance and crossing low enough is essential.
