I have studied hi-fi for many years and have found that the speaker's box is very important. Did you find that placing the speaker in a wall between the studs and top and bottom plates provided a suitable box? Did the subwoofer rattle the sheet rock or pop the nails? I have designed actual "sealed" boxes and installed between the studs and it really helped the speaker performance. I did not have any Theile/Small (T/S) parameters from the manufacturer to use in modeling speaker performance. Are T/S parameters available for all in-wall speakers?

Answer:
Hi Jim,
We could not agree with you more! A custom enclosure is very important, especially if you want more sound directed into the selected room versus out the back wall. These are actually excellent woofers at factory-direct pricing. Even if you add the cost of the custom enclosure, it is still a great value. I believe these subs are considered an infinite baffle so they can work in a number of different size applications. We do not have the Theile/Small parameters but will try an obtain them and add them to our features and specification on our site. Iwill try and email them to you as well. We would be interested in what design you come up with. Perhaps you could post some pictures for us.
