Sounds like you're off to a good start, and you know what to look for to optimize your system. To be honest, I don't think it's apples-and-oranges to compare a 2226 with an 8" carsound woofer in a pipe or a pair of Kappa 10's. You can probably get the sensitivity to match, but you'll never get the quality to match. Once you get your 2226 dialed in, it will be a much better speaker, whether horn loaded or as a direct radiator.
