What about the vent placement. Does it have to be on on the front/rear side? Is it possible to place it on the side wall of the box? Is there any other problem than to be carefull with potentiall blocking of the vent on the sidewall. What about two wents on each sidewall?

I am playing with it the whole night ... Kappalite seems realy more suitable for vented box. Thanks again for directing me ...

Thanks for clarification. I see the option - to find suitable driver (any reccommendation?) - vent the box, play with WinISD and experiment Assuming venting the box, will there be any significant difference betwen the Kappalite and BL15-400X?

Hi all, I am reconstructing my “old vintage cabinet” (nice piece of furniture) and would like to replace the driver. I went through this forum and the best option seems to be Eminence KAPPALITE 3015 or Celestion BL15-300X/BL15-400X. The cabinet is sealed, approx 160 litres and the intention is to use it standalone. I run it through WinISD and it seems that the Kappalite has more midrange response. Will it lead to more clarity? The Celestion BL15-300X seems to be half price of the Kappalite. Will the difference in sound be important or negligible? Many thanks for opinions ViVi
