Seas 27TDFC
Fountec NeoCD1.0 (messed around with this combo in the past)

You want to cross that woofer between 1500 and 2500. Any higher and you'll get in to beaming issues, and CTC problems. The Fountec really needs to go higher as does the Hi Vi and ND20.

The ND28 should be considered as well.

Where did you get that woofer? That would be my favorite mid under $60. It will run as high as you want with no breakup and very low distortion.

Thanks Pete , decided to scrub the combo and went with the peerless buyout HDS 830875 and the peerless BC25SC06 tweeter in a JBL TLX121 enclosure . Had to cut the woofer opening out some and need to deal with the flat sides on the woofer (taped now) but managed to get some decent sound out of them. I do have some baffles cut for the JBL boxes but we'll see. I'll post some FR pics in the near future

Cool - will be watching your thread to see what you end up doing. I've got some of both of those drivers myself. I know the woofer has been used in some very highly regarded speakers both DIY and commercial.

The tweeter, I've not tried yet, but I'm hoping I'll be able to get some good sound out of it, as I like the idea of being able to do a time-aligned design.

Jay Kim has posted at least one (a few I think) designs using that tweeter and Peerless HDS woofer(s).

Interesting. Would you care to share your FR + impedance measurements (in box) for those of us who like to play with crossover design software?
