Friend wants me to build a sound bar for an apartment. No true sub woofer, too much for neighbors. Wants great clear sound with some bass.
His TV sits on a credenza thingy about 4 feet long. Tv is about 42" wide. Not much room in his place for speakers on stands.
This pedestal-style sound bar design would have the TV sit on top of the flat down firing woofer.

Since SEOS 12 has a great polar response so I thought put them on hinges by mounting the seos to a MDF frame that has a roundover. Or a small mdf open back box for more support. Attached to a flat woofer (firing down, port pointing forward) box and let him swing the seos to create the right sound and imaging for his listening position, around 6-8 feet away.
See Top View image below.
Xovers probably all 2nd order.
One small 10-20watt stereo amp inside the woofer box for mids and seos. One 50w amp for woofer.
The mid driver and woofer below are ideas that look like they might work well.
