SEAS Prestige L26RFX/P as a sub?

Face · 5th March 2011, 02:39 AM

I have an extra pair of SEAS Prestige L26RFX/P lying around around and was considering using them as a pair of sealed stereo subs. Any reason why I shouldn't? Or should I sell them and pick up a single L26ROY?

Thanks!

Not enough info but if just for music and with small full ranges them with some careful placement they would sound pretty good. spec wise anyway... but if money permits i would go with the L26ROY and maybe add another later...

Rather than sealed, you might want to put them in a half-wave pipe! It will control excursion and extend response a bit while sounding nice.

At least if i'm thinking of the correct driver.

Some Blu-ray concerts, but mostly gaming and movies.

I liked the thought of two L26RFX's also due to being able to run both off a single plate amp. For the ROY, I'd need an additional amp, or 4 driver in total(parallel+series).

Sounds fun, but I wish I had enough space. Multiple, smallish cabinets would work much better in this room.

Agree, The Seas-L26RFX-P driver would make a good Sub for music as well for Ht if put into a suitable TL or T-TQWT:

A 9.5' tall enclosure, no thanks!

You've caught my interest. How would I calculate a folded horn that is 11.5" wide and 15" deep externally, and meet the parameters needed as far as internal chambers/runs and height?

Or at least point me in the right direction.
