The more I look at the Dynavox 6.5" ... the more I like it.

Any experience with it in a 2 way or as a mid?

If you want a poly woofer, then the best for the least is SBAcoustics SB15MFC30-8

This is a smooth paper 6" driver that's a true mid.

FS-Audio 6" Replacement Driver PA DJ Subwoofer Speaker 8 Ohm 160 Watt Woofer

If you search by the model number (FS-MD630), you should find the manufacturer's spec sheet, and possibly a supplier who is closer to you (or maybe not - this could be buyout stock from a dead manufacturer).

Note that they are about 10dB more sensitive [EDIT: I should have said efficient] than most of the prior suggestions, so you may decide that a single 6" per box is enough (not a MTM).

I got a pair of these 6" drivers a few months ago, listened, tested - then got 8 more for future projects. I got them on a $AU 25 special, but I think they are still great value at the higher price (about $US 30).

See posts 26 and 28:

Measurement based cone damping / treatment

The Audax PR170MO seems very similar. You might find a used pair of these, local to you, for a good price.
