Little 4-5 1/2" likely so the drywall needs little more than caulk and few dowel braces at most.

If you have to scratch that itch do things one at a time so if your mod sucks it's easily reversable.

One of those ideas not sure is out there but bet you can build a subwoofer horn in the stud cavity in your wall using nothing but simple supplies and cheap little driver.
Maybe it's been done and just haven't seen it.

it was a sarcastic comment... you know, like when you used it in regards to a suggestion of sealed subs. was that being of help or ranting on?
That was no sarcastic comment.

Leave them alone if they work and sound good.

the whole horn loaded sub tangent or comparing a suggested brand or type of sub to another this thread & others like it turn into would be like if a member asked for advice on buying some heresys & stated he doesnt have room, budget or need for bigger speakers. then gets a bunch of replies saying you dont want heresys because they are small & sealed etc... you need K-horns or jubilees or nothing else because they are horn loaded, heresys wont have any impact unless they are stacked to the ceiling. then people start talking about how a driver works or what the proper terminology is for a woofer vs driver etc etc.
it becomes completely off topic & unrelated to what the member asked about kinda like how the OP here wanted to mentioned he was surprised & happy with what a couple of the cheapest small klipsch subs did for his cornwalls. yet after 7 pages of posts 9 out of 10 replies werent even related to his post. nothing wrong with conversation but sometimes forum threads get so far off track it becomes counter productive. stay on topic or start another thread to discuss other things.
to the OP, please update this to let us know what you decided to go with for new subs... or start another thread.
You can't stack Heresy like you can subs. Let's try and be of help instead of ranting on.

Horn loading increases impedance.

Once they are in a room that flat eq curve goes flying out the window.
110 dB a watt or so.

I've sent you PMs about this. I reached out to several builders and no one was willing to make me a sub. I found one guy that was willing, however, his price was so high, it didn't make sense. They sell for $500 used. Surely won't pay $2000 for one to be built. No thanks.
I personally cannot help, truth be told I have a hard time just getting out to the store. There is my old demo Table Tuba available but don't really want to sell it.

Damn, see that build cost would make me just want to keep what I have for what I paid. They are so close on price once you add an amp, yet my subs retain resale value and have more performance and headroom than one could ever use even getting silly with bass levels in my room.
You have purchased many models while you've been here and keep selling them looking for greener grass.
Stop the wait and jump in.

I need one.

Think of buying efficient horns as saving the planet in many forms.

I understand perfectly well what he's trying to say and I can agree with it in certain situations-- if you really crank your stereo up house parties DJ-ing or maybe in home theater applications if playing at loud levels don't need explosions and such distorting the mains, basically any time you'd be pushing your speakers to the point where they could become strained or distort then yeah, cross them suckers over and use subs for the low end.
I cannot believe that the new Cornwall's or forte's cannot handle running full range as designed at moderate levels without distorting to the point that need to be crossed over that would be a poor design and unacceptable at their price points.
Sure, everybody who listens at low volume can get by with bookshelf speakers because they don't need anything bigger. ✓
Cornwall and Forte do quite well for the price in comparison.

You have a nice pro sound woofer in there and those shine as long as it's clean power.
2 15's can fill a small room nicely, a larger room will need help down low.

Yes, many forum members not only help others here but off the forum as well. Very nice, I could use a Chorus II replacement myself.
Others may catch the Mammal joke.

I have been around long enough to understand what Claude was trying to get through and if you can hear your subwoofer you are doing it wrong no matter what style or type.

Leaks rob performance.
Goober it up with a good silicone sealant and let cure.

I don't believe anyone is brand bashing here but put in perspective a horn loaded 8" far outperforms that 15" stuff and the THT takes up about the same floor space.

One sub brand worth looking into is Rythmik. This one, hits your price point, it's sealed, has a 15" driver and is spec'd at 3db down at 14 hz. They also hold their value very well when the desire to sell arises.

Says you won't even hear it running but words it differently, natural must mean no impact ?
That's what I hear unless you have a floor to ceiling stack of sealed subs.

I quit drinking and lighter fluid mixed with anything still tastes like lighter fluid.

hidden horn
in Subwoofers
Posted
Rear loaded, run the wire down the horn throat. Grille covers over the mouth and driver to hide can work too.
