Hello,
I know this is a tight space but anyone have any recommendation for a driver that will perform well in a 12 liter enclosure please. Either sealed or ported but if ported, the port will need to be on same face as driver. (Bit complicated to explain why so I'll leave it out for the time being)
Many thanks in advance imk

Possibly the Mark Audio Pluvia 7 or Pluvia 7 HD will work. Planet10 can advise as he has done multiple designs for those drivers.
And of course there might be other options from other manufacturers too.
It will be good if you can share a pic of the cabinet you are planning to repurpose.

Hello Zman01,
I have attached pdf of my shelving unit with integrated enclosures, bottom left/right features. The drive will be enclosed in these features and the drive will face downward. This shelving unit will fit on wall above an electric piano/keyboard and be the sound source for it.
Many thanks imk

imk,
What are the internal dimension (h x w x d) for the part (each one) of the cabinet allocated for the speakers?
And to clarify your previous statement - the drivers will be downwards facing and will not be visible from the front?

internals are 300mm wide 164mm deep 182mm high which is about 9lt.
I can tweak the height and width a little but not the depth.

imk,
The Pluvia 7 series might work in 9 liters - but someone will have to confirm that.
Btw, if the drivers point downwards they will not sound good...

I take the point of speaker not sounding good pointing down.
When i built the desk with the keyboard on it i built on it two stands (one at each side) on these stands i put a bookshelf speaker pointing at my ears and the quality of the sound was good. However it didn't sound like a piano or other keyboard instrument and well after some think i realized that musical instruments are not stereophonic in nature, they are in fact monophonic. So i cobbled up a couple of wooden rails spanning these these speaker stands and pointed the bookshelf speakers downwards. Now it sounds like a upright piano as the sounds is coming at me from chest level, not pumped directly into my ears. Hence the shelving unit with built in drivers.

FE166En really requiring much, much larger boxes. Hadn’t seen the B100 before, it might work (i pay little attention to factory recommended boxes.
P7 fits in 12 litres, a bit larger than i would use for P7HD/A7.3/A7ms/A11msmost CHx. Some larger drivers that typically fit larger boxes can be squeezed into a smaller box.
Can you live with a bit smaller, P7HD is very good. So is A7.3 but getting scarce since NLA.
There are few FR drivers that suit a sealed box, do bass, and they are usually large.

Downward facing is unusual (except for subwoofers), you might want something a bit hotter up top, but your application is beyond my experience. The bass alignment will not be affected by down, and that is what the box size is all about.

Well in that case, he has a whole bunch of options.
Still doesn’t change the calculus much, since one would be hard-pressed to find something significantly better at any price (well EnABL, but at this point it is DIY).
