Hi Fullrangeman, my 10inch is in an old MK1 2.8 I think. sounds great.
for my next speakers I am thinking of building a pureaudioproject style open baffle speakers, their duet 15
I have a pair of foster fe-166ESR and a pair of eminence alpha 15.
The problem I don't have to space to do wood working at home, I am looking for someone to help me build the custom ob speakers.
I hope I find someone soon.
