If you want more efficiency, "performance" volume levels, and more bass than you get from the Gallo 10" woofer, then take Tom Brennan's advice, forget about fullrangers, and get yourself some compression drivers and 15" woofers. They are not too expensive, especially if you find some old stuff or prosound gear.I'd consider the Yorkville U215 unity series. Pretty spiffy and nicely priced around $3200 for a pair.
A very easy way to go would be a pair of 2" compression drivers such as the BMS coaxials or something by B&C. Pair them with some prosound horns -- you can get JBL 400hz horns for as little as $70. Or build one of the Acoustic Horn (Bill Woods) 300hz horn kits. Ask Dr. Edgar for some basshorn flatpack kits and ask a local woodworker to put them together if necessary. You could probably keep the total cost under $3000 and you'd have some kickass horns, that's for sure. Add a powered sub (Titan III kit from Parts Express $650 for example) to cover the lowest range.
There is something to be said for a plug-n-play solution, such as a classic Altec Valencia or a neighborhood Klipschorn or Cornwall from a garage sale.
