    The original 807 fram is no longer available, you would not want it for home use anyway.

    Installing an 806 fram, and felt in the back cover, makes it essentially an 806. The comparison then would be 802, which has a bigger magnet and is more efficient. But the 806 is fine to keep up with most systems. I would however use 802 if two large woofers were used, as it will play louder.

    If you are looking at a single 15 and horn you are fine.

    Yup Ron, OG is right.Can't get them anymore except used on eBay.The Symbiotiks sound terrible IMHO anyway unless you use a tweeter with them (No Highs).I never liked the sound of them.They were more for PA use Bands,clubs,etc.(High Power). You can still get a higher power diaphragm for them if that is what you want.It is a Pascalite diaphragm the model number for the small format is Model # 26420.

    Anyone have a response graph of a symbiotik with or with out a super tweeter? I got tired of blowing my 802d's and installed them and thought that they sounded great in my A7-500's with 416-8a's along with a gaggle of Piezo super tweeters, the mid lows where stronger, the mid uppers where less shrill, and the highs where phenomenal. I think that I have a pair of 807's in my whore A8 clones, but can't reach the screws on the rear cover to check and don't care at the moment. With a lowly Piezo, they also sound great. This is all in Home Hi Fi.
