el`Ol, Unless I'm missing something, the Fs of 41.8 of the 10" is identical to the 15". The drop in Spl of 1.6Db would seem almost irrelevant....no?? Of course being a HT guy as well as 2 channel, I have a little knob that makes up for small Spl differences. But even so, 1.6 shouldn't be too big of a worry.
BTW I have a pair of the tens for rear surround duty.

I am glad to have put you on this track, excellent paper as usual !
By chance I just got a pair of 15" from Germany for a similar design, A&D 1524, Fs 44, Qts .7 and Cast Frame Basket that will be paired with
Monacor 130X/8 fullrangers passively. All simulated with your Math Cad model and with on paper very similar results. We will see when they are finished.  :D

Erling,

Thanks for the positive feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

When you are done with your OB design and build the speakers, send a picture of them for my gallery. I don't have many OB designs shown in the gallery.

Martin-

Good work! It's always interesting to see what the "gurus" of the hobby come up with.My next project will be a pair of Alpha 15's and a pair of Neo 8's I have sitting around.Your paper will aid in my design.

Thanks Steve, but I think el`Ol would kick my butt in an all-out debate, he's much more knowledgable.
I'm treading lightly.  :lol: Real glad he's had no rebuttal (as of yet)  :wink:
I just know how good my rig sounds and have to defend it.  8)
