I suspect the Seas Excel Nextel 10 inch is closer to the original driver. I have two pairs sealed. The good thing about these drivers is that they are made for an imbecile like myself, and can play rather low, I’d say 60Hz and up to 700Hz and still sound good with 1st order crossovers. Not many woofers than can do that. If ported they can become too loosy goosy for my taste and have zero control of the bass, and sound quite boomy. I have a giant 45Hz room node in my room as well. I found out sealed is the best bet for me. Can probably just plug the hole.
I am using something more interesting than a dome tweeter above the woofers.
Sadly my broken phone can not pick up the bass properly: Four Seas Excel Nextel sealed:
Comment: Midbass sounds tight and relaxed. Somewhat absent low bass - need a subwoofer!
Two Seas Excel Nextel ported:
Comment: Boomy, but plentyful bass for my little room.
Two Seas Blue coned woofers ported:
Comment: Musical drivers, but in the long run strenuous to listen to. Too lively. Too loose.

Yea, the cat needs a bit of flattening.
The manufacturor's recommended 5.6uf ideally would be a 6db slope approximately @4,750 and 3db down there.
However, the horn adds gain below 5khz.
So with only the 5.6uf, you are 6db near 2khz.
Great tweet, minimal dispersion near 8khz and above.

Hi Build my Makako Oranguta . First I tried simple XO , bass nothing and Morel with 2,7ohm 3.9-5,6 uf 2,7 and 15 ohm attenuation (bigger value cap sounds better ?) Sounded littlebitt dirty but quit balanced with lot of air . Then more complicated Makako XO . Sounds clinical clean not so much space but quite terrible in treble when no attenuation I try next 2-4 ohm series res . Or next Planet 10 type XO Theres so much post from speaker wich you prefer best ?
Hi, I have at home an unused box of 43'' x 12.5'' x 12.5'' ...that's about the same volume of Makako, but the front baffle is less wide.
If I use this box to clone Makako Orangutan ... Can i use the same makako's crossover?

Hi Dualuxe I allready tried . Sounds littlebit dirty ,maybe lack of the coil on woofer ?? Otherwise natural annd balanced .I used 4.7uf cap ,sounded better Maynard type I try second ,easy to mod from MakakoXO Makako sounds ok when attenuate with 3,9 ohm res or maybe bigger ?
Wondering optimum reflex tube lenght ? I got 70mm and 160mm two tubes . Sounds littlebit heavy , maybe I shod get adjustable tubes to get suotable longer lenght ? Tweeter sound also too loud at top end 49th 3.9 ohm and 3.9-5.6uf cap (Russian oil sounds most natural ) Usin first order so far best . 0.56mh coil as second order too clean and not so musical . Maybe best is Dualuxe X over what i tried first ? Maybe someone have idea how to go further fro this ?? Thanks
Here is mine Usin Makako type Xover on bass but only 5 ohm attn . and 4uf cap on TW Sounds nice even wit simple RH84 SE an 300b SE But best on PP types EL84 PP or more power
