Any update on the Tham15 mods, I was about to build two of them, but wonder if the JBell ss15 would be a better choice? I have the recommended B&C for the Tham15 and also kappa pro 15lf.
The cabs would be for PA / DJ use.
Thanks Steve

I have a void x6 amp to drive them, 900rms @ 8 ohm per side. Music is all sorts (not D&B). I do also have speakerplans x1 subs should they be needed. Two options for top speakers venue size dependent One is the speakerplans mt112 which can be crossed at about 130Hz, and for smaller rooms we use void mycro 8's which cross at about 200/250 hz. Hence I would like the versitility to get up as high as possible with the TH. This is where the dip at 180 becomes an issue. Using a DCX active crossover.
Since you already set out the wish for "would like the versitility to go up as high as possible", I guess the SS15 or the bigger Xoc1's TH18-2 (similar folding, lower Fb and can also be loaded with 15's) would be more versatile in your situation. But of course it also depends on the B&C drivers you already seem to have.
@epa: Do you have a plan for your design?
"it was something like 60 wide*90 high*70 deep cm "
I have birch ply cut up for 2 boxes with these dimensions, might as well use it!

Hi guys and gals
I finally pulled the trigger and started building 2 THAM15's after reading such good comments on them both here and on other forums.
Here are some pics from the build:

This is the phase where I am now

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Hello, This is my first post and my first attempt at Hornresponse. Although I cannot figure out how to capture the spl plot, I am seeing a very similar plot to the 15TBX100 when modeling the Celestion FTR15 4080HDX in the Tham15. Can anyone confirm or deny my findings? (realizing this is a dead thread and hearing crickets chirping) Thanks
Hi again, guys
Sorry for not posting this earlier, but here goes.
Here a detail-pic from the inside with the reflectors, bracing and handles
Both of them together
A detail pic of the finish using Warnex structure paint with a roller
And finally the first test outdoors together with our EAW KF300e tops
We were running the subs from a bridged Crown XTI4000, limited to 100V, ie about 2600W for the pair and when going full out we could watch the pebbles on the ground dancing 🙂
The sound was very tight and clean, and if You stand in front of them and try to talk Your voice will be modulated, feels quite interesting. We did not do any measurements other than using ears and stomach but the consensus was that they really deliver in the range a rockband needs, ie the bassguitar fundamentals are stunning, the kickdrum in the 80 Hz-range is really kicking and they can go up into 100-150 Hz if needed.
We have now gigged with this setup the whole summer and the expectations were fully met.
The deliver that tight, clean sound that we want, the dB/m3 is exceptional, the handling worked out perfect with the wheels and handles and we are just happy with the build.

Hi MagicJohansson,
Thanks for the rendering and the pictures. Very nice job - well done.

No, I used the B&C 15PS100. The driver recommended by Martinsson is the B&C 15TX100 but after lots of simulations and a long look at the pricetab I decided to use the cheaper PS-model since the only real differences are (in this order) price (cheaper), power handling (a little less but still 1 kW) and a little less group delay.
