Conclusion:

The speakers came out better than hoped. The Dayton Designer woofers sound amazing and it pairs well with the Peerless DA25TX00-08 1″ Corundum Dome Tweeter. I wanted a closed design with No Port for the tight and true bass response which they have. I planned on a ribbon tweeter but then saw the specs on teh peerless and had to try it. Glad I did. Great combo.
