The TCP115, which is an amazing driver, in the same volume box has an F3 of 48 and a max SPL of 95db. The difference is that, to my ears, the SB has better resolution and less distortion. They are both excellent, and the TCP115 is dirt cheap, but the SB is also very affordable.
Also do you know of any good builds that use the cheaper SB and a different tweeter? I'm wanting to build a cheap desktop setup for work. The SB12 looks like a great candidate.

Some other ideas, you may have seen:
I am planning to build a small 2 Way bookshelf for my sister. I already have tweeters I would like to use, Css LD22, they can be crossed over as low as 2.5kHz. These won't be used for critical listening so more of a fun but still reasonable sound is desired. Would like to get extension down...

No plans for a sub, but who knows.. I do have a sub problem. These will likely be for light music at my desk or background music in the bedroom.. maybe I'll shift gears and build a bluetooth boombox.

Always a fan of RS drivers but I have a few scattered through the house already.. I'd like to try something different.

RS150p is on sale (but on backorder). Based on PE recommendations doesn't look like it goes a low as the Peerless but may work better in the small cabinet.

That's a nice tweeter. I have a pair currently used with a buyout Peerless 6.5" woofer. My intention is to try these with some other woofers that I own, however, the current combination is very good.
I use a subwoofer, so the boxes are small, and sealed. I can swap in this woofer to my existing boxes. I think a while back I determined that the same xo worked for both drivers, but likely would need a little tweaking. Curent design is pretty much full BSC, as they are on stands well out into the room.

I have also been tempted to try them with this woofer.
Peerless by Tymphany 830991 5-1/4" GFC Cone HDS WooferThe Peerless High Definition Sound (HDS) Series offers high-quality solutions for multi-way speaker systems employing vented box alignments. A powerful ferrite magnet system is coupled to a finite element analysis-designed suspension system, containing a linear spider design and rubber surround. The motor incorporates an aluminum shorting ring that reduces coil inductance, extending frequency response performance and reducing second harmonic distortion. A cast aluminum basket provides high structural rigidity, heat-sinking capacity for the motor, and additional ventilation under the spider that in combination with a vented cone neck reduces air compression effects. The Glass-Fibre Composite (GFC) cone offers a unique acoustic and visual experience.

Woofer To Go With LD22 Tweeter
I just updated the tweeter on my main speakers so now I have a couple CSS Audio LD22 tweeters lying around. I think I want to use them to build some bookshelves that will fit in the PE mini bookshelf knock down cabs, they're .23 cubic feet. I'm trying to go easy to build and easy on the budget so I'm thinking drivers around $40 each. ​​​​​​The real rub is I have no clue how to design the crossover so drivers that are also easy to work with would be nice. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions when I get to that point. I'm not 100% what they will be used for.. maybe computer speakers. Any recommendations are much appreciated.Tags: None
