Hmm... isobaric. Not my specialty by any means - I've never built one and I am not that well versed with the theory.
If you're dead set on isobaric, I would talk to someone with more experience with these designs, and I would confirm that this woof is a good candidate.
The more I think about it, the more I would want to try it in a 3.5 way. Thing is, these woofs do have quite a high Vas, and ported alignments range from 2.5 to 6 cubic feet per woofer. For two, you're starting at a five cubic foot box... and that's no small box.
So isobaric is more attractive because you can put two units in the same size box that would normally accommodate 1 woofer and get the same low frequency performance.
The woofs in those three-ways I built... 10V01... they appear to be a polyglass variant of the same woofer - high sensitivity. These things give very tight and tuneful bass in a sealed box, but then I ended up using a sub despite using 10" woofers, which a lot of people didn't "get".
The Kevlar version does have a nice xmax... I bet it would perform very well in the right ported box.
Sorry, but this has to bake in the back of my mind for a few more days!!
In any case, these are quality woofs and can be used for *something* that can sound really good. The question is: which design philosophy should one pursue? This is one of those cases where it's NOT a "no-brainer".
This is a "brainer"!
Cheers,
Presto
