What is your favorite high sensitivity 12" woofer for 50hz to about 1000/1500hz range? I'm looking to revisit the econowave style speaker with a bit more sensitivity than my last pair had (about 90 db). I don't care about cabinet size within reason and don't need below 45-50hz, but would like 92-95 db if possible.
Supravox 285
Incredible lightweight cone, perfect timbre and outstanding detailed mid-bass, and supreme dynamics!

I know I did not state a budget but the Supravox look cool but I can't justify that kind of money.
How about this sale one at madisound?

The Faital Pro 12FH500 is a pretty nice driver. 500Hz should be no problem, although it looks like there is a small resonance just above that frequency so I would use it any higher. I have to admit I have never "heard" the driver. Take that under advisement.
Finally slowed down at work and I could run some enclosure sims. The Faital 12fe300 does dig deep for a pro sound woofer, but the box is rather large. I know I said no box size restraints but at a certain point it seems a 15" would make more sense. Is 93db sensitivity at 50hz in 3 cu ft possible for a 12"?
Take a look at the BEYMA 12P80FeV2 or its neo version 12P80NdV2.

Per the vented chart you can get ~3% eff. max = ~112 dB + 10log(0.03) = ~97 dB, sealed ~2% eff. max = ~95 dB
