The DIY bug is getting to me again. Would like to have a pair of 10" woofers to go in a pair of "project" speakers I built. Or a pair of 12" woofers to go into some old ESS cabs. May be better off refoaming the 12's though.

How big are the cabs?"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

These offer good performance for the price.Mainly intended for use in sealed boxes but will work in large vented enclosures aswell.

That'll be about 1.25 ft^3 internal volume. That's a bit small for a vented design with most 10in drivers.Front baffle 14" wide, 20" tall and 10" deep.
In any case, here's two more ... on the bottom-end of the spectrum. Not rubbish but probably tolerable at best:

Probably not appropriate for your project, but good to keep in mind when considering a traditional 3-way with 10in woofers, are these better-quality 10s:

I've been looking at those PE woofers. Thought I'd ask here first. I may end up ordering those I guess.--Gary--

The cheap ones I hope. The Reference woofers have a nasty breakup unless you use steep slopes, a notch, tank filter, etc...
I have some cheapo woofers here that I'm not using, but they would need an enclosure twice the size as yours, oh well."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche -
Face, I am not beyond building another/bigger cabinet. What kind of woofers are they?--Gary--

Would you be interested in a pair of NOS ( new old stock )
MTX 12 inch woofers ? -
possibly, let me know what you are wanting for them. I am waiting to hear back from Face now about some eD's.--Gary--

i started scanning eBayjust to see what 12 inch woofer are priced at
and they are inexpensive.
for example these looked interesting for 21.99 + 6.70

I'm sure shipping costs to GA make my stuff way not economical.
oh well.... good luck with your project ! -
Well that all depends on what you are asking for them. :biggrin:--Gary--
