Hello
Great to see all the detail you are posting on your project
I can see you are still on the hunt for the TAD woofers...another possibility if supply is limited would be to try the older JBL 2205. I have heard it said that the TAD was modelled after the 2205 ( I don't know how true that is..I have my doubts).
Still SOME of the specs are not too different, the free air resonance and VAS are very similar. The power handling is different 150W v 300W - although measurement methods used never make this ultra clear. Q 0.22 v 0.3. There appears to be a big difference in Xmax though and the efficiency (1.8% vs 3.5%)
I'm not sure that this would make your woofer quest any easier...you never know. It may be interesting to model them against the TADs.
Ian, I don't recall...Are you goining for a horizontal pair of woofers or vertical arrangement...MTM etc..?
Best
