My last speakers that weren't my design were Ellis Audio 1801's. They used the Seas W18E-001 crossed LR2 at around 2.4 kHz. The breakup is pretty similar to the L16. Dennis Murphy designed the crossover and basically just notched out the breakup. That might work here too.
Keep an open mind, but don't let your brain fall out.

That is encouraging, to be honest. I'll give it a shot.
Took some preliminary measurements and did some modeling today.
Not the easiest combination of drivers to work with, but eventually this happened. Reality may well be different - we shall see. Not sure when I'll have time to start twisting but hopefully this week yet.
And for Ss and Gs the components that got me there.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that driver's huge breakup.

First round of finishing complete. Incredibly difficult with the bad wing.
Did you have to set your beer down?
Took an effort of will to hold that damn beer up with this bad wing.
Your new physical therapy routine - Can Curling!
Is the red glazing putty or something like that?
Yessir.
First application. This needs to cure a week before I block it and apply second coat.
Dang, can you force dry outside in the sun?
It's the humidity.
I find that a cheap box fan can really help cure the water based paints.
Dang, I'd forget what I was supposed to do in a week.
The tweeter is actually flush mounted, the gasket is not compressed in this picture.

Wow. Nice breakup.😳

Hmmmmmm . . .
I scrapped the notch on the tweeter, didn't feel it was necessary. I also went with 2nd order electrical on both drivers, which yielded this tonight:
Some extra squigglies, SPL accurate 1M:
Nice. I also find your parts very efficient. Top quality work as always.
Insomnia testing followed by insomnia soldering.
Figure I'll get them buttoned up tonight and get good measurements. Then they are going on Facebook Marketplace.
Id like to hear those SEAS woofers if I can, before they go .
Sounds like a plan.
These are all buttoned up, Nick. I'll be around this afternoon.
All set up for a demo.
It was pretty easy to suppress, however. Fairly controlled even if high in amplitude.
These little Seas are quite capable little fellers...

That's my go to bass torture track.
