A little higher priced than the FE126En. IIRC P10 and Chrisb tried it out in the FH3 and found it a good match - they would be able to comment.

Alpair 7 costs a bit more, in comparison, but I think you'll find no lack of bass with that driver. Cutout is nearly identical to the FE126en.
I ran the FE126en in a BK12 for about a year and switched to the MA A7 in the FH3 and much prefer the Alpair. Better bottom, better top - though the better bass is certainly a function of the FH3.
The FE126en is by no means a bad driver, IMO, and has a very pleasant sweet spot at a particular volume level, but runs out of steam very quickly.

Alpair 7 definitely gets my vote sonically - it and the exotic MOAP7 are my personal favorites for the FH3, but note that its through hole is slightly larger than the FE12x series, and more importantly, it has a very thick mounting flange which really needs to be flush with baffle surface, so it's not just a drop in.
An easy alternative would be the Fostex FF125WK, which is exactly the same frame size, and while slightly lower sensitivity will probably do a better job in the bass department.
Ray, agreed that the 126 is excellent in the right application, but I think the A7.3 will deliver better bass in any enclosure of equal size - at the price of both sensitivity and dollars.
