looking to build super small speakers. wanted to see if any one could recommend
4" - 5" drivers. ideally 4.
volume for each speaker will be around .1 cubic feet or 2.5-2.8 Liters
i found some by peerless and dayton audio

should i chose all 4ohm and 8 ohm drivers. most cross overs are either all 4ohm drivers or all 8ohm
ideally looking for clean beautiful midrange in sealed enclosure..
but might be tempted to go in super bass from tiny box direction
if i chose 8 ohm woofer and 4 ohm tweeter will it be a cross over design project to build cross overs or a 2 way cross over can be easily tweaked to accommodate difference in driver impedances

why not two per cabinet like this in a Bass Reflex, full range... https://www.parts-express.com/Visaton-B80-3.3-HiFi-Full-Range-Driver-8-Ohm-292-660?quantity=1
Interesting.. but a little skeptical about tremble in these. Will it be silkish sounding. + Some sparkle. I've looked at some full ranges that had a tweeter in the middle like a lot of kef speakers. But couldn't not find any super spectacular
But cost wise these look very interesting

The idea is to have something better than Harman kardon onyx 2, 3, 4. Or 400$ Bluetooth speaker. Harman onyx series output impressive bass. But tweeters are sort of no that great

or the good (give up efficienty but good sound) https://www.parts-express.com/Peerless-NE123W-08-4-Full-Range-Woofer-Speaker-264-1128?quantity=1000

or some Edifier or Adam speaker for samebucks than the blue tooth you listed...

I have these (Visaton AL 130 M) :

I've been listening to them (as midrange drivers in a three-way ported boxes) for a year and a half and I'm still impressed.

Worth having a look at Jeff Bagby’s revolution Mini’s. These use the SB Satori MW13P-4 and SB29SBAC and the 8x5 racetrack passive radiator in a 7 litre enclosure.
An example build - https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/2020-jeff-bagby-revolution-mini-sd.359083/

How about Peerless SLS 85 S25 CP04-04? Could get away with 1 litre sealed. 🦜
certainly a great competitor from the 15NBAC from SB Acoustics... Dibirama measurements of it looks very good.
Very interesting options
Cost wise overnight sensations or passions recommended by diyiggy look most seductive at the moment.

Beyma and B&C 4" drivers are definitely worth a look. High efficiency too! Don't be fooled by the price.
Do not forget the more the PA efficienty the lower the bass response...
Not si easy to make a passive with 2 liters cabinets...that is why some FR 3" to 4" drivers would be more suited if the size is at the top othe wisch list.

Basically I would like to keep the system all sealed enclosures. Ported or passive radiator always sound too muddy and blurry..maybe I haven't heard anything spectacular yet. I'll have 2 small Bluetooth battery powered speakers+ an optional subwoofer. Have a 2.1 Bluetooth amp from parts express. I know can't get tons of bass from sealed enclosure. But prefer less random airwave background from passive radiators or ports
