The glue got 24h so not worried about that..Still quite fast! did the glue have time to dry!
The spx32-m seems like the best from Monacor... I remember looking at other drivers from them, and most had ragged FR curves.
If you can order from places like Aliexpress, here are the two drivers I have used that sounded pretty good, after adding a small notch around 5 or 8kHz.
The best one is the beige paper cone. Amazing bass in the TABAQ, yet refined enough up in the higher frequencies.
The black cone and red whizzer was cheaper, but also a good performer, not as clean as the beige, but still good enough to amaze a friend who begged me to give them to him.
He put them in his restaurant that plays classic rock all day long.
i actually don't think i need any filter on them.. have to do some mere listening first..
They took out the comparison to MA drivers on the newer seller's page...

Here's the translation for the link above, and.I'm going to share the DATS readout and REW sweep as well (I opted for a narrow notch at 6.5kHz later on, instead of the usual BSC, so I could keep the reach up high as much as I could):

I had to fix the beaming with the w5-1611saf, which was just too much for my taste.
Added a closed chamber tweeter on top. Not really any volume lost inside the line, and now it sings.
Next will be to clean them up and paint them.
I have a Tron-like idea for them.

with a full Eq correction = sounds REALLY nice , but they need at least 30 real watts to get decent volume , i drive them with an SMSL SA-98 ( for the gift package to my stepdaughter )
i'll have to make a BSC for her and it will certainly sound not as good as a full eq with a DSP ;(
i also made plywood cabinet buy the girls prefers plain wood
, she decides , it's for her after all

Woww that's a nice idea to use a small tweeter just on top of the main driver, but I really really really waiting to see the Tron paint design...
w5-2143 pdf planset here , sounds quite good with a DSP correction ( BSC most of all )
ohhhh wowwww such a nice wood, excellent build congrats, yes use a parametric EQ is good idea but the beaming problem on the W5-2143 can be completely solved just if you add somehow a tweeter like Perceval did, me too I build a Tabaq with W5-2143 and after try lots of option EQ included I add an external twitter and now no matter where my listening point is beaming problem gone....all the best
Your scale is huge for the dBs.
Narrow it down to 40 to 100 dBs to really see what's happening.
Because of the huge scale, everything is compressed and looks fairly flat.
That will change when looking at things a bit more closely.
I can tell you that I would put a notch from 1kHz to 5kHz.
You'll see it when you zoom in.

Forgive the off topic comment, but with your username you 'must' be the same person who frequented the old RD Forum in the UK some years back? It's a small world, as Bare is here as well!
I have x1 TABAQ with Visaton FRS8M and I have a weird interaction. When listening to music it doesnt matter if its pop, rock, electro, house, etc. At the point of the low frequency range the drivers just goes almost silent and when the bass part is over it just start to sound louder. However some songs doens't have this weird interaction even if there is low frequency range it sounds great, but some of them just doesn't sound right. And songs, that doesn't have this issue they sound way louder then the ones with the problem. Is this problem related to my DSP which has high pass at 50Hz/LK24 and low pass at 20kHz/LK24 (dsp is t.racks mini 4x4)

Yep , Uk forum disappeared , i mostly did the same thing from the motorcycle world , as after crashing too much times on race bikes i can't anymore crash without 30s daylife ending ( too much hardware near blood main circuit )
i still port some barrels and most of all play with Gp bikes since early 2010 years
Could be that your amp is running out of steam. I had similar symptoms running TABAQ’s with P830987 (83.56 dB) drivers using a small Class D 20W amp.
Sorry - it was a 2 x 15W (TDA7297) amp - did not have enough oompf for my TABAQ's.
Thanks you are right, here with zoom.....all the best

I thought that amp is the problem but I run it with Koda KD-261 which is rated 110 wRms@8ohm and I tried T.Amp E-800. Could it be that i'm not driving them with enough power? Because I'm actually careful with the volume knob. My primary source was phone at like 50% through DSP which is at 0dB gain and volume on Koda KD-261 was 1/4 and on T.Amp was like 1/5.
And another thing, when i check the input on my DSP even when i use full volume on my pc or my phone the gain on the DSP is in range of -10dB and -20dB. That means I lack input?

You certainly have enough power there. Must be something else then. Maybe test it without the DSP, then we can narrow it down to where the problem is?
