I think most here would rather have stereo woofers as you're going to be able to localize the sub at 150hz.
I've been playing around with sub crossover points recently and find I have to set it to 50hz to avoid its contribution becoming too obvious. Even 80hz I could locate it.
Place it centrally and give it a listen, you might find it acceptable?

Chrisb, yes, for this reason I think 150hz maybe would be a good start point. Fe206en have 1.5mm xmax
You've misunderstood? We think the xmas is limited for the crossover point you want in a open baffle. I'm not sure how to be clearer?
But give it a go, you might find at moderate levels it works for you? I've had good results from all kinds of odd set ups.
Depending on the size of the baffle, your FR could start dropping at 300Hz.
Also, freeing the FR from the low end will increase its clarity, meaning lower distorsion. So, a XO between 300 and 500 is best. That means, you'll need a woofer.
Of course, expectations of each and everyone are different, but since we don't have any information on how you will listen, and what, then all these are just speculations on what you need.

Don't be suprprised that people aren't replying. This just doesn't work. You could probably use that Fostex in a closed box, in which case it would make it down to 80-100 hz (you will still need a BSC) , if you want to use a sub. But, just one sub is wong, in any case, make it two, stereo....
