what to do with a single RCF L15p200ak?

So....... I have a single RCF L15P200ak and 300W amp power (QSC 1200 bridged, 300 RMS with 2 dB headroom according to manual). I'm thinking about building a micro rig based on this.


What kind of design would people suggest to get the most out of this driver (with the available amp power)? 

would be nice to reach down to at least 40 Hz since I like my dub/roots reggae

According to WINISD 120l reflex tuned to 35 Hz would yield 118 dB SPL down to 38 Hz with 300 W input.

I was wondering if the L15P200ak could work in a Tham15, but IIRC the THAM has a cutoff around 50Hz?

If the RCF yields 5 - 6 dB more output in the THAM15 above 50 Hz (as with TBX, 99 dB sens.)  it might be worth the increase in size (120 L reflex VS THAM15 187 L).

To get flat to 40 Hz at lower maximum volume I could still drop the sub gain by 6 dB and do a corresponding narrow boost between 40 and 50 Hz.  

Any other contenders? Cubo? Bandpass?

I have heard it (the old one) in a bad jbl scoop copy. Did sound kind of sweet, lower and louder then eminence kappa 15LF but gets spank of high bl drivers. Reflex is what it is design for. 

Why not look at simming a bandpass like the x1, with only 300w available i would have thought youd want as efficient as possible.

Yea if you can achieve 118dB at 38hz with a 120L reflex i'd just go with that. I could only get an extra 4/5dB at 38hz @300w with a 180L bandpass in hornresp. 

right i miss-read, i thought it was 300w p/ch.
