We will be both comparing notes on the dual chamber abc box as well as the triple chambered design i came up with. I should be recieving mine noneday may the 30th or 31st. Basslova should be recieving his a few days after me. Weve been talking and he says he has some other 6.5's he is going to use till the tangbands get here. If you told me I was going to be expreminting with 6.5's for spl and sq i would have never believed it. Using 100 watts rms no less to boot.

i hear dayton is good too but if you look at that tangband post he says they sounded better than his dayton 8's but id suspect its more about box for him

i didnt choose the daytons for what i wanted because they didnt have the xmax and i wanted to move some air....daytons are like 3.5 mm xmax and the tangbands ar 11.5 mm and if you look on tangbands site specifically they claim 12 mm xmax

are you going to use a box for the Tangbands? or are they just going to be free air in your doors? Can you use those in conjunction with say a 12" woofer? Like have a 6.5 an 8" and a 12" all diffrent frequencies using a 3 way crossover?
