85db?????
hmmmm
I like them woofs. I got 4 of them also. My plans are for a JBL L100 clone.
The box (1.43 cu. ft. Knockdowns) and qts. match the Troels rebuild;http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/JBL_L100.htm
Johnny Richards budget 3-way got me kick started in that direction.
Gonna follow this thread to read your impression on these woofs.

Re: And Now for Something Completely Different
Well, a 30 min XO is in place. They are making music. My wife says they are the nicest sounding XO first shot I've done. Quite listenable.
Shot in the dark - after just a few swaps -- 10.4mH on the woofer - 12uf with a 3.3 ohm series resistor on the TG9FD's.
I suppose I'll have to get out Omnimic and see what I am getting at my listening position.
These open baffles are a different animal, but really easy to listen to.
Rudy - I'm guessing you are about right.

Re: And Now for Something Completely Different
"The Paladins" Known as "holy knights", traditionally seen as "white knights" vs. the well known "Black Night". I am thinking you can have a very paint job to accompany.
OR
Since they look like something from the 80's.... "White Panthers" may work well. I can picture a hair band with that name.
They look very cool. I love simple x-overs..

Re: And Now for Something Completely Different
After a couple of hours listening, I have just a couple of observations.
1) Something a bit edgy in upper range of female vocals and in brass passages. Don't know if it is the TG9FD's or a woofer breakup - or both. With just a first order electrical, would not be surprised if is the woof. May need a trap on the tweeter.
2) These woofers are not Ushers. ;-)
Hardly the ultimate in resolution, but they way I have them set up, useful bass way down. Qt measures 1.14 on these, so they should be OK for open baffle.

Re: And Now for Something Completely Different
just 'whiteys'. like the kid on 'leave it to ******'." To me, the soundstage presentation is more about phase and distortion and less about size. However, when you talk about bass extension, there's no replacement for displacement". Tyger23. 4.2015

And now some modeling.
I pulled together some modeling using Martin King's wonderful spreadsheets.
First, here is the modeled response in baffle of the woofer.
Dashed Red - Infinite Baffle Response
Dashed Magenta - Baffle Response
Dashed Brown - Crossover Response
Solid Red - Combined Response
Then I got serious about a crossover, and modeled a 2nd order electrical - again using Martin's spreadsheets. Of course, actual measured response is not included, but they are already sounding much better - moving from pretty good, to "I've got something here". Steeper slopes have taken the edge off the low end of the "full range" Vifa.
All-in-all, I'm liking them. By Indiana, they will probably be good enough to share.
Under $200. Not bad.
