Faital 12FE300 in a sealed cab?

[andrus108]

I think this is a fairly new addition, seems like an answer to their inexpensive 10FE models? 12FE300 (8Ω) by FaitalPRO

Would this work in a sealed cab, ca. 60-70 litres?

Don't trust my program without checking the results in one of the more widely accepted programs, but here's what I get:

My hunch is that the speaker will have a "classic" tone, but suffer from power handling issues. I've been very happy with an Eminence DeltaLite 2512-ii driver in a fairly small ported box, details at my non-commercial web page. It's only a couple bucks more expensive.

Wow, thanks!

I want to use it with a 50w tube amp, so either this much clean, or 100w fuzzed out. Possibly I might end up with two. As long as they don't cave in I'm fine, no need for clean low end at arena levels.

Also Eminence prices in Europe have gone through the roof, I can get two Faitals for the price of one Emi......

If you go back to @fdeck's online modeling program, change the "Amplifier power" to 100 Watts and click on "Re-generate Graphs", the "Waveform-based" cone excursion curve looks safer, with the driver exceeding Xmax only at 40 Hz (the frequency response one for that box size was already promising).
If you change the "Driver name" and again re-generate, you can save the page to your bookmarks.

Even at "fuzzed out" you don't get 100 watts out of it.
You might get about ~15..20 Watts clean average power at most and roughly 50 watts dirty fuzzed sound at best.

How does this driver work in a ported box and what size box is best ?
