I know very little about the actual specs of speakers. Only the basics to get me by. These interest me because they are cheap and efficient.
Presently I cannot find a fr plot on them.

What perplexes me about these is they are well efficient and yet they have a qts of .6 to .8 depending on the model and yet they are all over 99 db!.

I thought to get a qts that high you need to have a heavy cone and therefore lower efficiency.

What could they be adapted for audiologically speaking here.

qts to high for horns?

What about ppsl mid bass?

Or perhaps they might be best in open baffle pp middbass. They seem like such a special driver for the price it seems like a driver worth trying.
