Topic: EVM12L in a Thiele Cab??? Anyone here try one?

Hey,

I'm looking at putting an EVM12L in a 1x12 Thiele cabinet using the TL806 plans from Electrovoice. I've heard they sound huge. Has anyone here tried one? What's your opinion of them?

I like the idea of small footprint / big sound.

Youre basically talking about a vented or ported closed-back cabinet?

I have 2x12 EVM 12L Black Label speakers in my Forte 3D cabinet... which has vented sides.

I like it a lot, and I never play it without my plexi-shield and auralex pad. Floor doesn't shake with the pad, and ears don't bleed with the shield. cool
Thing is super heavy to carry though sad

Very cool cabinets! I can see it being heavy though...speakers alone are like 38lbs yikes

Yeah that's kind of what I'm looking at. Mesa Boogie makes a theile style cab adapted from the EV plans. I just haven't had a chance to play through one so I really don't know.
