Well, why not go 1st order with those little "woofers"? And I suppose you will be glad that you've isolated the MF, too.
Unless you just get lucky, it looks like the MF/HF XO might be dropping. I am not familiar with the 2105, but depending on its break-up, that XO might wind up as low as 5 - 6k.
What are you doing to vary the port? I was thinking about a tube that could slide (or thread) in and out, so it could be played with. There are any number of ways to do this with o-rings, etc., as long as the tube has enough support (ie, the fixed block must be thicker than 1 section of G-10). It might also be nice to have various options for a light, fluffy "stuffing" for the port, in case of port noise.
16R for is cool for LF harmonics, if tube amps, and those drivers can do it.
BTW, I love the feel (and the sound!) of G-10, but I never would have gone that way, because of the hassle and the expense. I have never seen the stuff thicker than about 15 mm. Are all the panels rigid, now that they're cut, or will there be some BBC flex?
I hope you will compare it to the Celestions (a speaker I never warmed up to...).
