Just ordered parts for a budget, all Gradient 3-way

Based on what I heard from the Gradient midbass used in one of Ani's speakers at DDIY, I ordered some of the paper cone variety:

Have not any modeling etc yet. but the advertised Q of the 8" woofer looks promising for a sealed standmount type. We'll see. As soon as I am over whatever has been ailing me for the last two weeks I want to spend an entire Saturday doing nothing but making sawdust, and the next few days doing nothing but gluing up cabinets. 

These drivers do not appear to be anything super special, which is pretty much my specialty anyways. I am going forward with this design due to a request from someone looking for a speaker, you know that old story.

Looks like a good beginning for a value 3way and if sealed a small value 3 way!

I have a couple of other Gradient mids (5" and 6.5") - the AXP series for a high eff design.
