I am planing to use Dayton Audio CX120-8 as a sattelite speakers. What do you have to say about its enclosure and choice of CX-120-8 as a driver.
I feel they should sound clean and go deep enough like 100 Hz @ -6db with optimally small enclosure.

I used the CX120-8 as a midrange and tweeter in a 3-way. The CX120 was mounted in a sealed chamber of about 8 liters of volume and in it, it modeled with an f3 of ~150 Hz and an f6 of ~90 Hz (although since this was a 3-way, the crossover didn't allow the CX120 to play anywhere near that low).

I did small breakin of speaker for two hours. and measured . it resonance shifted from 88hz to 81 Hz. and slowly is returning to its original resonance frequency.
Used a small enclosure of approx, 2 liters and the bass is remarkably good. There are some unknowns will share as I keep my test on.
One thing , the speakers did sound clean. and happy about it.

The crossover corner from the woofer to the CX120 was at 480 Hz, and from the CX120 to its tweeter at 4.2 kHz with slopes closely following LR4.

What crossover did you use on the coax?

Why was 4.2K selected for tweeter? and which order did you use ?
A fellow DIYer designed the crossover for me and he determined the optimum crossover corner frequencies based on on-baffle driver measurements. My previous post stated the orders of the crossover corners.

Thanks.
The off-axis drop-off in the top octave is pretty steep. If you have a messy room and small listening window, that's great.
If this is for an open seating living room, you might want to look at something else.
Thanks,
I guess the room should be around 250sq feets. And yes, probably cluttered too.
