Gentoo fullrange 2 inch PE buyout

There has been some interest in this little (and I do say LITTLE) guy. 

https://www.parts-express.com/gento-sp99023a-2-paper-cone-full-range-speaker-4-ohm--299-546

Fs is quite a bit higher than specified, but generally pretty smooth, and with surprisingly low distortion.
Not sure how I could add mass to the little cone for independent T/S specs, so nothing on that front.
Pretty efficient, should make for a nice CBT array, but the terminals are TINY, and do not look amenable to a press fit connector.
Good airflow for a pressed steel basket

    Any idea what the dip is above 1kHz?  What are the mounting conditions for your measurements?

    Your fingers look like giant fingers holding that thing.  Thanks for the measurements.  Does this thing really take that large of a box?

    Probably more critical is the measurement conditions. OM, of course, about 6 inches from the cone on axis
    I would have measured closer, but that has the tendency to roll off the highs, and I wanted to capture that range.

     Hot glued roughly to a small PE box, stuffed with some polyfill. Driver flange maybe 1/6 above surface.

    I haven't run the Unibox models, but with a Fs at about 350Hz, can't be very big.

    Was thinking around ~1L.  Seems like a lot for such a tiny thing.  When dealing with something like a line array where each individual driver will likely be way underdriven; how important is fs?  This question also for the 4" buyout.  Haven't made up my mind which driver.  Of course the 4" would need some cheap tweeters.

    I think 1L is way too big for this guy, but maybe the high QTS would require that. I don't know if that dip at 1.5K would be a problem - maybe BSC would bring that up a bit. Yeah, the 4 inch would need a tweeter as far as I understand.
    The problem to me is the high Fs - 350Hz is lot higher than 150-200. You wouldn't want to run a sub up to 400 or so, you'd need a woofer Dunno.

    I'll start a new thread here. I got QTY 52 of the 2 inch BMR, and I'm going to build a CBT24. I'm pumped for that build.
    And yeah, I'll need a nice 12 inch sub for it.   B)
