The drivers free air resonance goes up when placed in a box, the TC9 went from 124Hz to somewhere between 140 and 170Hz.
It is hard to say exactly what will happen for another driver. The closer the tolerance of the drivers the less likely things will change too much.
Here is an image of the individual impedances along with the combined in box impedance

Yes the red curve is 25 together in a cabinet. The effect of multiple drivers is to spread or flat top the impedance peak in comparison to a single driver. The only reason there is a difference is due to the drivers not being exactly the same. Theoretically if they were perfect there would be no difference.
Restarting
I have recently decided to get my arrays back in service in their new home with some additions
I sold my Linkwitz Orion system and most of the money burned through my pocket quickly
Here is large piece of printed fabric to be used in a panel on the back wall as it is very close, part of a significant attempt to reduce early reflections
A pair of MOD686 boards from Tom Chr
And a pair of Dayton RSS390HF-4 subs, I have procrastinated about these for ages and a 10% offer tipped me over the edge, Vd of 1161cm3, each about 4 to five times what a single array can do

Now, why does that happen to us all? Can't pockets be made stronger
Hope the money was not spent mostly on the fabric!
Jokes aside, Tom's Mod-686 should be a good addition to your system. And that 15" Dayton sub looks like it means business... your house is about to get a mighty wallop... that is when you've done some building and ready to rock and roll.
Good to see you back at the game!
Thanks it is exciting to divert my attention away from renovations for awhile
MOD686 is for the arrays
Yep arrays, they might resemble the Goldmund clone a little from the outside as they will be in a 5U chassis that I already have.
Ha Ha! The printed fabric was not expensive as they had a free shipping offer on, if only Parts Express had the same offer!Now, why does that happen to us all? Can't pockets be made stronger

You have a chassis for the amps? I think that one is not gonna be too small.
Yep, I already had a 5U 400 Deep modushop chassis that I had other plans for but changed my mind, it is not small at all
It was that change of plans that made me think of the mod686, what could I do with this monster chassis?
Subs and MOD686 boards have arrived, just waiting on the rest of the parts
Managed to sell my LX521 system, so I don't feel too bad about buying the extras for the line array, I want to give wesayso's ambient speakers a try. The JBL actives are less useful now so I think they will find a new home behind the couch
