Interesting idea....

I like it. I think we should be doing more to design systems which integrate into small rooms and existing decor.

Yes! The latest in overseas-made Mid-Fi. I'm a bit skeptical of it's 160 watt rating.

I saw that on demo at the MWAF this year... near the men's room.
Sounded pretty strong to me for a quartet of four-inchers!

Here's the driver it's based on... https://www.parts-express.com/dayton...4-ohm--295-415 Seems somewhat legit to me power rating wise, maybe not at 20 Hz, though.

Interesting. Could have done reverse mounting of the opposed drivers. Could be cool sealed with a built in amp plus boost to get similar response.

I have been wanting to do the opposite and have a driver on top, bottom and sides
maybe the back too, with a box around the whole thing creating a band-pass.
For years, one of these days...

Are you saying it was in the toilet??

With several assumptions made based on the stated dimensions I ran some sims in Unibox. In a 15l enclosure with an Fb of 50hz it predicts an F3 of 46hz.The woofers get close to exceeding Xmax at 70hz with a 70W input. All in all not bad for four 4" drivers.

Not bad at all! I can't believe how low this tiny thing goes either! https://www.audioxpress.com/article/...udio-subwoofer

Wasn't there a project like this years ago in the PE Project gallery, I forget what drivers were used.

I have a 7.5 cu-ft sub, but it's in my closet. Matches the decor nicely, and gets into the mid teens..

The same 15" Dayton driver was used a long time ago, in a small sealed box that was about 10" deep at the base, and 6" deep at the top. It fit behind my couch.

Naaah, I don't have a potty mouth.

Is this the one you were talking about?

Yes that is the one I was referring to.
