Hello! Need some opinions regarding suitability to build small subs into our floor.
Our living room (750 sf) has numerous 2" x 12" heating registers located around the 3 outside walls, in the hardwood floor. Beneath this room is a 4' crawlspace. We have installed ductless mini splits, and boiler fed underfloor heating, so the vents are no longer attached to any duct-work. I was planning to fill them in with hardwood to match the original floor.
It occurred to me that I might be able to make use of them to have multiple smaller subs fire up into the room. My first thought was infinite baffle, but also thought of slot loaded woofers.
Would that register space, 24 cubic inches, be enough to get any use-able amount of bass? Perhaps with something like 8" woofers? A person could enlarge them to use ready made wooden grills, if they are too small. There are 9 of these scattered around the room.
The architecture of this room is very unique, and my plan is to build a "stealth system" into existing cabinets and wall spaces.
All of the vents are in floor joists (2"x12") on standard 16" spacing, so there is plenty of room for a rectangular box. However, they are generally about 6" from the outside walls.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!
