What to load my tiny scoop with?

A few weeks ago I bought a tiny scoop off Static Age. It's well built being made of 15mm birch ply, with a plywood scoop part.

However the driver in it was only 28w rms and seems to be blown. As it's quiet and buzzes a bit when tested, even when I removed the xover inside. When I compaired it to another small sized speaker which was a bookshelf sized hifi sub with a 5.25 inch driver also.

So ditched the driver and looking for another suitable 5.25 inch driver.

Two drivers come to mind:

Beyma 5MP60N rated 50w rms, but has no vented pole piece and is 5 inch, so hopefully the .25 inch more won't make it fall through the cutout hole. Although the Beyma does have a square front frame simular to Fane drivers, so it might fit.
They can be got for £25.10 from Proaudioparts.
Rubber surround,polyproplene cone, 4mm xmax, vas 9.8 litres, qts 0.29, fs 60hz, BL 6.4, max excursion 20mm, sensitivity at 1w/1m 91db, 1 inch coil, die-cast frame, 50hz-12khz,8 ohms.

That one looks pretty decent and seems to have the right ts parametres for scoop use.

Or this one that costs £12:

Skytronic 902.420 5.25 inch rated 100w rms. With yellow kevlar cone, rubber surround, vented pole piece, 4 layer coil, fs 55hz, qts 0.41, vas 5.6 litres, BL 8.7, spl 84.8db at 1w/1m, xmax 3.5mm, 8 ohms.

That one has twice the power handling, vented pole piece and more BL and has a slightly lower fs. But the other specs don't look as good, less SPL at 1w/1m and cheapo make.

Unless someone can think of another driver under £30 that might suit it better? Being at least 50w rms.

As for the amp to power it, I'm stuck...

I got a 150w rms into 4 ohm/100w rms into 8 ohm mono Velleman module amp, which I just need to build the PSU and case for. Hopefully I can build a suitable PSU for it still.
And this sub xover: http://www.bkelec.com/Modules/asbf.htm

Or maybe easier to buy this: http://www.bkelec.com/Modules/bsbp100.htm  and use that in seperate housing as it won't fit in the back of my tiny scoop.

I cant see that a scoop for a 5" driver is going to do anything for the bass end its just too small, any benefit the horn loading might give will be way out of the intended bandwidth for the application, so im guessing youre using it cos it looks cool

Thats fine, but in that case id get the better driver.

those skytronics can take a fair amount of abuse, i put one in a tuba sub and its fine on low power, the cones very flexable though so with highpower it distorts like crazy.  Might be ok in a scoop though as theres no rear chamber so less pressure on the cone.

I know exactly what your thinking...varoom!

Me wonders if one of those long magnet subwoofer p-audio drivers might fit and work in the Auto Tuba.
