Hi Steve, I was just looking at the 6-1/2 inch Dayton Classic Sub DCS165-4 which is on sale. I have used it and goes low in a small box. I was wondering if it would go high enough for a 2-way and it won't, but it would seem to go high enough to cross to a dome midrange. Just wanted to throw it out there since it comes up as a subwoofer rather than woofer and you may have never looked at it.
My drum room has a mode at about head level when using subs so I have turned them off and am just using the roll-off of the monitors to check my mixes - most people listen on phones, ear buds and small speakers anyways so reaching 30 Hz isn't necessary. I DO need to be able to hear it on my mixes though just to keep from adding too much low-end . . . but the VSX headphones can reproduce it.
Yeah I end up thinking from a passively controlled speaker mindset. Makes sense to work with what you've got if you have capability to easily shape response to your liking anyway.

The more you delve into that thinking the less sense passives make.
For me speakers are just a tool to get some other work done.

If ya want sealed, M8N maybe? Though might not be necessary if you are offloading to subs anyway.
I can get this with the MCM 55-5670 in 14L just using PEQ:
I REALLY need to STOP acquiring more drivers but thanks for the ^ suggestions - I'll try modelling them shortly . . .
