You might be able to get away with a bit less; if I remember correctly, my calculations at the time (based on the above driver) yielded a theoretical ideal volume of something like 23 cubic feet (sealed), so still not something one would casually push around.

I do not know what drivers I would go if I switch from my current arrays to two lower bass midbass but Jessie brought an interesting subject: what the size of sealed box would be “enough” if I go with 1808.

The drivers’ data is available from here:

The folks, who love to do predictions, please do them. I have few 1808, a few Fane Colossus 24, a few 18” JBL (do not remember name) and many Altec 515G. Probably 1808 would be a good choose. In reality has Fs! 28Hz but the rest usually is fine and it will be able to do good job in proper enclosure. What the size of enclosure would be enough for this driver?

Or course it shall be a sealed box. Jessie went for 23 cub feet, shall I go larger? My impression was that it needs to be 35-45 cub feet. I spoke with my carpenter last night and discussed if it possible to load the boxed into the frame of the house. It is possible and my house has two very good locations …. but it will be 2.5 week of his work. So, expensive and I need to be truly sure that I would like to do it.
