10 cm Midrange
32 cm Subwoofer
Crossover at 300 Hz
I think the midrange covers those higher frequencies I am able to hear.
Is there a better option without tweeter?

The fullrange crowd usually refer to this configuration as a WAW or a FAST (wideband and woofer or fullrange and sub). You might try there.
I think one of the usual first steps may go something like: "Tell us about your system / needs".
Home theatre? Low SPL background music for the bedroom? Studio? Party speakers?
What kind of music (or movies) ?
Are you more interested in building a proven (or at least popular) design? Or more of an exploration?
What about equipment? Amplifiers? How do you want to cross them over? But I guess the more detailed questions are a bit more downstream.
Anyway, my guess is that the bass driver looks too much like a dedicated sub, and 300Hz may be dissapointing, compared to a 12" pro mid-woofer. An SB Audience Bianco could be interesting? But the small mid-tweeter may struggle to keep up, even if properly EQ'd with active filters. The size ratio is probably OK, but higher sensitivity should be possible for the mid-tweeter.

Hi,
Have you already purchased the drivers or you are trying to find the concept that fulfills your needs ?
The SS sub is very good, but not made to go as high, as the 10M will be a little thin at 300 hz (works better at 500 to 800 hz high pass). The sub will works better up to 100 hz.
You better needs a 5" to 6.5" after this sub with higher efficienty cause it will be rigth where there is a loss (around 6 to 8db) between the highs to the lows of the mid. The so called baffle step. Then a 1.1 to 1.5" tweeter after will be a better idea. You can setup it to you ears loss in the mid highs.
The two way with full range with a little Fostex or Mark Audio could be simplier though, ask Planet 10 about the choice of the FR.
