I picked up these small cabs for $25. They are approx 5"W x 8"H x 5"D.
I am craving a set of mini speakers since I gave my NHT SuperZeros to my son for his desktop setup.
I quite like my Seas and Scanspeak drivers in other speakers, so I am hoping to use the Scanspeak 10F 4" driver for this project. Yet undecided on a tweeter, maybe a smaller SB Acoustics option.
I am not looking for bass out of these. I dont need much below 90Hz.
I plan to use a simple 2nd order Bessel crossover on each driver, at around 3k. I found a great online tool to import the driver response files and model the crossover design. This is just meant to be a fun project to learn and tweek to see what sounds good.
With these Scanspeak 4"ers, Do I need to worry about exceeding xmax with the low freqs? Do I need to add some sort of high pass filter at like 60hz to protect them?

I have a 5L BR box with a cheap 4" Monacor and an Audax tweeter. The ampli is a 20W Denon and the filter is very simple, just a coil for the LP and a cap plus an L-pad for the HP. No problem whatsoever in many years even when used in my main system with a 70W ampli. Just use them with a grain of salt.
The 10F is a FR, you could even use it without a tweeter, by applying some EQ to compensate the baffle step and the rising response at high frequency.
