Seas Froy TL

[Scottmoose]

Only a quick idea, this, but I don't think it's been suggested before. I was fooling around in MathCad earlier, using the Seas Froy midbass drivers as a basis, when it occured to me to look what would happen if someone tried these drivers in the Thor enclosure. Thor doesn't really have enough Vb to do its larger drivers justice, but the smaller Froy units look like just the ticket. It's a bit wider than the original box, but I doubt it'd cause too much of a problem with baffle-step.

So, 1 standard Thor enclosure, with 0.5lbs ft^3 of stuffing, except in the last 9in of the line, and the 2 Seas Excel W15CY001 midbass units used in Froy. The SPL might be a bit off, as I don't know what the crossover will do (I haven't seen it), but the curve will be right. If you have a Froy, fancy a traditional TL and like trying stuff out, this could be fun experimental project. Shouldn't cost much either as it's a simple build -a couple of sheets of MDF, glue, 4 binding posts, a bit of wire and some pillow stuffing. About £50 all in.

Just a bit of fun really. But could be interesting.

Cool !.......so how about the same idea with the ODIN

2 x W17E002 and 1 x T25001 in MTM arrangement. Original Baffle was 230mm ( 9 of those imperial thingos )

The current Odin MK3 uses the exact same drivers and crossover as Thor -the W18E001. The W17 should work though. Again, just make sure you don't stuff the last 9in of the line. I'm waiting for a current Thor owner to try that out and tell me what happens to confirm a growing suspicion. I can't say any more on that subject just yet though.
