How would you use the Wavecor WF152bd09?
This thing looks good for 2L sealed mid duty or vented 9L 2-way. Looks like you could use it first order or second order crossover.
So I guess my question is how would you use it?
Looking for ideas on the next build.

2 way with a WG tweeter crossed low.
Good excuse to look for a nice ribbon or AMT that's not a RAAL
I'd use it just for the Charlie Brown cones, but that's probably just me.
Could keep with Wavecor and go with the TW030WA11/12. Not cheap, but built in small waveguide, low Fs (420 Hz), nice Sd (11.5 cm2) and decent Xmax (+/- 0.4 mm). Vance tested it: https://audioxpress.com/article/Test-Bench-Wavecor-TW030WA12-30-mm-Cloth-Waveguide-Loaded-Tweeter.html . Can you tell I always wanted to try it?
Fantastic pic!
Cool looking cat! Speaker is not too shabby either. "Kiss the paw I said"
I do have two pairs of TW030WA03_04 OEM tweets if I want to keep all Wavecor. Thought about a shallow waveguide in the front baffle and rear mounting them. I'm looking at directivities. I wonder though, do I need to worry about a waveguide at 2200 HZ LR4 for the combo? - 3dB at 2kHz, +/- 45deg. Image attached, tweet link below.

Of course I had to find this combo....

Did they machine that side chamfer right into the driver's frame?
Looks like that driver is offered as a truncated unit:
