I came across these doing a search.

Interesting... I'd like to hear it!

That is one bada$$ looking subwoofer, I own a pair of ess amt1 speakers with transmission style bass cabinet design, and I can say from experience a good designed transmission style bass cabinet can sound wonderful!


And those being frieds adds some vallue as well I would think, I haven't personally owned any fried speakers but I know their generally well respected.

I had a model H.
It was probably the only sub that I ever heard that could get the exhaust of a big cruiser right. It's an amazing sub.

I'm surprised this style of sub isn't more popular today. It's a perfect location for a TV.

The 10" Dalesford's used in the Fried model T were also used in the first model O sub enclosures.
I wonder how large the motor structure is on that driver?
I saved a photo of one I saw for sale a few years back.

Those Fried subs have been posted for a while now...I'm a little surprised they have not sold already.

Well, it is a fairly massive device and piece of furniture. If you don't have a coffee table, think of trying to integrate this into your home. It just isn't easy to do, despite how nicely this is finished. If you mount or place your TV on top, where is all the gear going to go?

Couldn't see placing a TV on top of that, unless the TV had a concrete base to support it.

I think that one models the Fried Model H, and is somewhat larger?

Fried in many designs changed the drivers and the enclosure without changing the model designation.
I helped one forum member in identifying which version of the Studio V model they have.

Fried crossed over the later versions of the model T at a lower frequency compared to the original versions.
This pair for sale could have a 14 gauge air core 7mh coil or a 12mh coil in the crossover.

Some model T versions were two enclosures and not just one enclosure housing both drivers like the one for sale.
