I recently purchased a couple of well made boxes thinking that I had suitable drivers in the stash based on the sellers description.
I do but only 2 of them and they are old model Tandy drivers more suitable as midrange not as woofers or subwoofers.
Anybody know of a driver that has a cut out of 240mm and an external driver size of 270mm?
I'd like to be able to use these well made boxes if affordable drivers are around. Asking here while I search though sites.
Australia so my options are limited

Looks like any of the Dayton 270 series will fit and the SD270A-88 is in the ball park for my budget.
Any feedback on its use as a woofer or sub-woofer?
Boxes are built for two drivers in each box so they'd be wired as dual 16R in parallel each box and each seeing a box of ~35litres

Moondog55,
Any pics of the boxes?
The volume of each of the cabinets is 70 liters and you can install two drivers in each cabinet?

Well the Daytons are $149- each, which I suppose is cheap these days.
I will have to sell a quad of the Jaycar 10s tho.
@zman01 the recommended box size for the drivers https://www.theloudspeakerkit.com/dayton-audio-sd270a-88-10-dvc-subwoofer
Is that volume so my WAG is that these were the original drivers in these boxes.
Boxes cost me $50- and fuel but it was a nice day for a drive

You are ok with a sealed cabinet and tuning of F3 @ 52 Hz (with suggested box size as per the link)?
What is F6 and F10 like?
I have used the Dayton RSS265HF-4 which I like a lot.
It should physically fit with a 266mm OD, a 235mm cut out and a 248mm mounting bolt circle.
They are about $170 each here in the USA for a quantity of 4.
The physical fit is always a challenge because every manufacturers 10" driver is actually a slightly different size.
The cabinet volume seems close to the recommended value of 0.9 cuft for a sealed box with an F3 at 45Hz.
As for the wiring, one option besides the traditional series / parallel voice coils, is to add another set of binding posts so you can wire each driver separately to it's own amp channel.
Best success.

WES are listing the SD270A-88 for $130.90, save you a few bucks.
SBAcoustics have the SB26SFCL38-4 they are $98.45ea, probably about the cheapest you'll get on this patch of dirt.

I can't access WES nowadays as my ABN has been taken from me due to lack of business trading on my part, but add on the GST and LSKs pricing is the same
DSP and it can be whatever I want I guess. But as a woofer box yes, as a subwoofer no
well that size is the 10" Peerless XLS size
there's a few drop in substitutes, but I consider them all boutique - fancy baskets, fancy cones, polished backplates etc, all costing AU$300+ ea.
consider car audio subwoofers which by sales volume is just lower priced, or enquiries direct from a manufacturer: eg

Dont need a ABN, it should only be needed if you want Gst free for business purposes.
They are cheaper $149 vs $130.90(Gst Inc) for the SD270A-88
You need an account to see units and prices and you can't get an account opened without an ABN. You do know that WES prices are listed GST free and when you add 10% to that you get the same price as at LSK, one business being the retail sister of the other
