best 4 ohm 15 for a 4 cubic foot enclosure?

I'm looking for the best 4 ohm 15" driver under $200 for my 4 cu ft enclosure. I play an Ampeg SVT 200T with a Tubeworks bluetube pedal and an P-Bass. I play in a loud rocknroll band with a Twin reverb and a Sunn for guitars. Below is a link to USSpeakers 4 ohm selection. If anyone could take the time and point me to the best bet in this selection I'd be much obliged...

I'd have to recommend the Eminence C2515 15" driver. More modern technology, good sensitivity (98dB) and decent price. I've been using a CB2010 driver in a very small box and its worked well and I like the sound. Since your existing box is not optimum for this driver, retune your cab to 38 Hz to match the driver to help control cone motion and minimize cone excursion. If you're using a five string, you might want to retune to about 35-36 Hz to address the frequencies from the low B-string.

An alternative would be the Eminence Kappa Pro 15, especially if its the LF model with extended xMax but its also over 3 dB less efficient than the Kappa Pro 15A . Also be aware that the Kappa is much heavier than the C2515 neo driver. Still retune the cab to about 35 Hz. Check out Eminence's site for full specs. Links below.

This driver IS an Eminence KappaLF on the pro alum. frame structure. Check the specs with your WIN-ISD. It fits the 4 to 5 foot cabs perfectly, and the price is right. I just put one in a 4.5 cu ft Avatar 115 cab myself. Best bang for the buck , driver for what you are looking for right here.
