Romy, I suspect that 200 Hz high-pass will be too low for that driver, even 2nd order, and almost certainly with just 6 dB roll-off. I think more like 500 Hz with 1st order, and might still require the coil.
Yellow-type drivers take on and amplify the sound of any enclosures. I don't know about the Fostex 120A, but they often test other, similar drivers in OBs. For one thing, OB adds ~ 3dB of potentially-interesting "oops", and can be "shaped", via baffle step. For another thing, no box noise. I also tried a small sealed box, and it was not so much "bad" as it just ate power. A driver that small might do with around or even less than 1 cu. ft. box, whether sealed or ported, with minimal interior stuffing, crossed where it makes sense to do so.
I still like the idea of the dual-purpose oops/monitor...
There is supposed to be a Supravox USA, but I could not raise them via e-mail. But the French are civilized, and easy enough to do business with, and decent prices (without VAT). There is also an Italian outfit that promotes Supravox pretty heavily, with decent prices (without VAT)
Best regards,
