I am toying with trying a DIY in wall / ceiling speaker.
One of the issues is the back volume can be anywhere from an infinite baffle situation ( back cavity is an attic or another room ) to a relatively fixed volume ( 2.7 cu ft for a typical 16' oc wall with 8 ft ceiling).
With the latter, you could use the sealed/ ported guidelines from Bassbox that PE provides, but what about the former where I would think you need a stiffer suspension to control.
I have an IB sub manifold I built using 4 15" Dayton Audio DVC drivers ( no longer available) that works real well, but there has been more published on sub applications than on wider range drivers that may cross over at 2KHz or higher.
Thoughts/ guidance?
