    I'm not worried about the durability of the paper woofer.

      Dont worry about the durability of paper cones, I have some paper cone woofers from the 1930's that are still in great shape.

          Go for it, and keep kid's fingers and other objects away from the cones by leaving the grill on. If you can hear the difference with the grill off, then you're in an extremely small minority group, and you should be buying better speakers. I like my 703, and can't afford better now.

            My brother-in-law and I are planning a sub for him using the Dayton RS HF 15" driver and a BASH amp. He wants it ported, which means a cabinet volume somewhere in the 10.5-11.0 cu. ft. range. That would be a very heavy box in MDF, especially since I would use at least two layers of 3/4"...
