The Eminence Delta-12LFA is more efficient, so it has less bass (not much though). It does have more x-max, so ultimately it can play louder with more power in.

A 2 cu ft 2nd order sealed box with an F3 of 30hz can only be 0.18% efficient (84.55dB).

A 2 cu ft 4th order vented box with an F3 of 30hz can only be 0.36% efficient (87.56dB).

A 2 cu ft 6th order vented box with an F3 of 30hz can only be 0.90% efficient (91.54dB).

Move the F3 up to 60hz and the sealed box will now be 93.55dB, make it 4 ohms and it will be 96.55dB, and you have the H II.

The 6th order vented box is interesting. If we bump up the F3 to 40hz we will gain 3dB, or 94.54dB, and another 3dB for going to a 4 ohms woofer, or 97.54dB. This would have about the same F3 as the Cornwall, and only be 3dB less efficient.

The 6th order vented box is interesting

should be a nice project using Heresy mid and tweeter. EV's Interface EQ boxes found cheap on ebay would come pretty close to tuning without tweaking. IIRC Interface A box peaks 6dB ~39Hz

so a new back panel with vent would work (?) - would pym1298 TS be too far off?:(all got laying around)

DC resistance: 5.28 ohms * Frequency range: 40-4,000 Hz * Magnet weight: 95 oz. * Fs: 46.9 Hz * SPL: 97.8 dB 1W/1m * Vas: 4.02 cu. ft. * Qms: 5.69 * Qes: .29 * Qts: .28 * Xmax: 3.2 mm
