I've got a number of the TB 3" drivers listed below. I'm wondering if they would work in a Chubby tower with some obvious modifications instead of the CHR-70 they were originally designed for? If these don't work is there another TB 3" driver that is a better candidate? I've tried to model them but my home computer is messed up and my netbook isin't good for anything but checking email and playing on the internet.
I'm just hung up on TB drivers and these chubby Towers would have a Tuba18 with a TB 8" driver in it helping the low end. An all TB system would be interesting.

They don't have the "oomph" for an enclosure that large. Maybe calc what size sealed enclosure they would take and make a dual chambered tower with the bass driver below.
You could design a box in the same theme as the chubby-tower, but with a 3" driver & an Fs of 120 Hz, it would be a mini-me version, At a guess, it would be < 20" tall.
