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.

A little like those dual inwall 8 inch reference that I had. They were sealed RW5802 think was.

Almost certain this has been done using wall, attic as a box/ space. 

Architectural...

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

 

 

You will know after playing abit where to brace. Yes, not deep.

Wall that is unless cavity used behind into a closet or other dead, unused space.

Get the jist...No ah, yes could even port into ceiling.

Not like putting an entire sub into the wall, less invasive in minimal terms of construct. Passive the more than 1 architectural sub  like the 5802 mentioned.

Hide the lfe or speaker cable to powered/passive sub. Put an innocent grille to hide and viola.

 It will test the studs, wall, nerves, to minimize vibrations.

Rubber, other insulating material would likely help. Guessing free up floorspace and, not certain of motivation for "hidden"but, there are women whose names will not mention that prefer no subs.

Even some men who feel that a sub should not be seen or heard.

Wall height varies I guess so we keep this basic and mounting to drywall sounds iffy so I drew this up.

A 2x2 or similar brace center above mouth. Use good silicone for sealant.

Whatever will work. Sealed option also?

Guess that 5 inch woofer a safe bet.

I don't think that little 5" woofer will create enough pressure to make an issue but easy fix by furring out the wall 1/2" maybe giving space for a larger driver.

 

I'm all for infinite baffle as long as they run in pairs but that's another thread and by far more costly my guess.
