Lookin good man. My lady is foaming at the mouth now to have me pull her kitchen speakers and jewelry box that I built together into an all in one package.
Those coaxes, with your good design, do they have noticable bass output? They would be such an easy driver to keep on the shelf for all the friends who want sound without a lot of work......

The Vifas are nice drivers and in the space that I allocated for them there's a decent amount of bass. With the DTA-2 and the fact that the Vifa's are 8-ohm nominal drivers there's not wall-shaking volume though, and the amp poops out before the drivers.
I like those drivers enough to try them in a 3-way though....I think there's real possibilities there, but right now I have too much on my plate. That will be a summer project perhaps.
I recessed the drivers and used four clamps per driver which was absolute overkill. Three would be fine and you could most likely get away with using two clamps per driver and a bead of silicone glue.
I bought three of these drivers from Apex Jr, but they sat on a shelf for a while. I measured them with no break in and fs was 100Hz on one and 200 Hz on the second - the third had no resonance. It took me a while to figure out that the coil was blocked. The tweeter section had come loose and was pinching the coil between the pole piece and top plate - so the driver was toast. Seems like I got one good driver for $45, I'm not too happy.
You can see my DATS measurements in the build thread. Mine were around 95Hz. I would call [email protected] Apex and discuss your situation. He's a straight up guy.
From what I gather, these are old drivers. Old drivers = potential problems. I guess I was lucky. Good luck.
