Replace drivers in Hartke VX215

Here's what I got:
http://www.samsontech.com/products/p...1691&brandID=3

I love this cab...for what it was...but I want it to be better. It is the perfect height and weight for my gigs. At 75 pounds with two 15's, and a tweeter...its fairly easy for me to schlep around, and has a small footprint. What I would love to do is gut the cab and put 2 new Neo 15's in it and a 6" mid in place of the buzzy tweeter...but I would need a crossover as well. Want to keep it 4 ohms as well. It is 40"x27"x16" to give you a rough idea of its volume. Any ideas? what would you load it with? Im curretly thinking about two Kappalite 3015's and an ALPHALITE 6A-CBMR for mids..what to do for a crossover though? in other words; WWTBRSDO?
(aside from telling me to buy a LDS cab )
Or should I even mess with the crossover and mid since both the 3015 and the 6A-CBMR both top out at about 4K?

You wouldn't be required to use a mid w/ the 3015...the benefit is in off axis response. If you do use a mid you may be better served using the 3015lf and yes you will need a crossover in the 800-1000 Hz range. Also, the alphalite (100db for the closed back) is not going to give even sensitivity with 2 15's (101db each -> 107db combined). The 18 sound is closer at 102db, but still a little short.

The simple option is to put two deltalites or kapalites in it and a quality eminence compression driver and waveform along with an off-the-shelf 5k x-over and l-pad.

You also need to consider the tuning frequency of the cab.

Im not a fan of any tweeter...thats why I was looking at putting a mid driver in there (if I need it). And where would one buy an off the shelf 4 ohm crossover? All of them I have seen are 8 ohm.
