      I've been checking out PE and yeah the search was getting on my nerves... I like that PS180 but I would definitely have to cut off at least the top and bottom of the flange and the basket might be too big, it really depends where the holes end up. A safer bet would be something like the Visaton BG13P or Tang Band W5-2143. I don't know these brands though and I might just take a chance with the bigger Dayton.

      Using two speakers is a good idea and some of the "replica" radios use two smaller drivers, but without the enclosure. Unless they were very small, the magnets would be too far apart to fit through the hole and it would have to be at least less than 2" deep. The enclosure is very unforgiving.

      I've used both in home audio projects over the years, no real issues. Tang Band does have a tendency to be a bit "optimistic" (i.e. higher listed than reality) with their specs. They're decently made and relatively decent sounding if used properly/within their limits. You project is definitely well within their capabilities.

      Two that I have used before: The FaitalPRO M5N8-80 is an amazing mid with the right specs (12ohm nom, 99dB), but pricey and probably way too big around the magnet. The PRV 6MB250 (8ohm nom, 94dB) is ok if kept tamed (nasty 4K spike), but based on the info in daloudin's post that might not be an issue for your use.
