I have also had good results with the Celestion TN1225 in this style of cab, however recent price rises make these not so appealing. Regards the comp go with a 1" that can cross fairly low.

Unless you intend to buy some more upmarket bass/mid drivers than have been intimated there is no need to spend a fortune on the comp. For the horn no need to get anything more expensive than the Celestion H1-9040P at around £10.00.

Beware designing passive cross-overs is as much an art as a science.

A good source of high quality components is http://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/

I would run active if you have the opportunity.
