SEAS Prestige L26RFX/P as a sub?

[Face]

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!

 

[RockLeeEV]

that is why you fold

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.

Did you end up using the L26RFX as a sub with plate amp?
I'm planing to use a BK electronics plate amp, and I also have the chance to grab a pair of L26 at a very good price.
Thanks!

Sorry, no I haven't.

Sealed vs. BR vs. Isobaric vs. TL or T-TQWT

...Multiple, smallish cabinets would work much better in this room.

What do you call ""smallish cabinets"".
Some people say that, in the forum, and end-up building, or interested, in 200L enclosures. The only way to make it small, I guess is Isobariq, (NPI) just an idea... to make sure for priorities.
A sealed works nice with this driver also but... F3 is close to 50Hz, with 90L cabinets.
Look at this (post #3) with a small Isobaric sub, at OP request.
