Agreed, there's summat special about drivers around this size IMO. I have FE167's here at working in the workshop sound system cab's and they're fun too but a gimmie a good tiddler, cor! (sniggers).
I can't do the maths I'm afraid TRA, I copied the plans from the box plan library that was on DIY Audio and the Canadian Planet 10 websites. I'm OK at building speakers but designing them is a skill I lack. I've met the fella who designed the big cabs quite a few times, he's a clever 'un, Scott Lindgren.

Those Fostex look beefy.
A good 4" driver can produce the most amazing sound. Don't know what it is but I've found them to be just right, sweet midranges. Back in aus, hidden in a box I have a pair of 4" drivers with kevlar cones (can't remember brand) and some ribbon tweeters that i plan to build into some speakers. Just need to find the specs for a compatible cabinet design - many maths to do and no idea how to do them! Maybe I'll ask you more questions....
