Re: 12" driverKind of along the lines of Phil's post, is this target -3 point measured in the car, or is it the response of the box that you get when modeling with a basic T/S program (response in half space at 1M or something like that) or, to be completely silly, is it the response measured outside the car (with the speaker inside)? "Cabin gain" makes a huge difference here. As far as suggestions go, I think you likely are looking for the biggest cone you can fit. Do you have any dsp available? Since it is car audio, you may consider a non-conventional alignment with some smart dsp to compensate. Your power limitation comes into play but so does psychoacoustics...
