Hi speaker nuts,I got 2 projects going.One involves a full range Fostex.The other is using a precut cabinet that I bought from Parts Express that has a cutout for a 6.5 inch woofer.I think they dis-continued making this cabinet.It,s not in their current catalog.I was going to use a Seas co-ax,which I already purchased as well as the cabinet.I think the Seas is going out of production too,although they still offer the same driver but with a clear poly cone.So,I am re thinking plans.I checked on the internet Dynaudio,of which I have used in construction before.I don't see any for sale.Are they just selling their completed models and not selling raw drivers anymore?Here is another question to anyone who wishes to respond.Price no object,what is the best quality,in your oppinion,6.5 bass driver that could be used in a .55 cubic monitor styled cabinet,very heavy and thick and braced.I have the Madisound catalog in front of me,but I need a helpful kick in the pants.Thanks all,mark.korda@verizon.net

Have you seen the Seas W18EX001? I think it might work for you. Modeled response looks very nice in cabinets from about 0.25ft3 to 0.5ft3 tuned to 50Hz. Works fine with sealed chambers larger than 0.1ft3 too.

Hi Wayne,thanks for the tip.I said that cost was no object,but I over stated myself.The woofer you recommended costs about 159 bucks.I'm kind of steering towards Peerless or Vifa,as they seem to be more affordable.If I stay with my orginal idea,I will use the Seas 6.5 co-ax ,which I already bought and put a Scan Speak variovent in the hole left for the tweeter.The Seas speaker follows the same idea that KEF and Tannoy are using with the tweeter mounted where the dust cap would be.I got lots of ideas swirling around in my head,the speaker building hobby has already sent me to Audio Asylum.....Mark.
