Free bass for the shop?

I am about to build a pretty sizeable workbench for my shop. I have the bass module from an old Klipsch Rebel system gathering dust. Could I expect anything like 1/2 decent (if quiet) bass if I put this 5.25 in a hole on the back/bottom of the bench? Shortest pathlength front-back would be about 8 feet or longer.

Specs on the woofer:
5.25" diameter
weight: moderate
surround: foam

that's about all I know

Am I crazy or is there anyone else out there who would go to the trouble of cutting this hole?
 
😀 you, funnyman!

Previous shop-sound is courtesy of an aiwa boombox. Looking to upgrade to old compaq computer speakers maybe in back of bench, perhaps with Klipsh bass!

Total cost of the bench is still about $2 for screws. Amplification for these speakers is probably going to be TDA chipamps of the 2x6W variety or else some simple opamp-with-follower stuff.

The budget just don't have any new gear in it. If you care to donate to the cause however....

😉
 
No, dipole-style. a hole in the back/bottom panel of an 8" long bench.

I will probably do this just to see how it sounds. The T/S param's are probably all wrong for dipole, seeing as it comes from a bandpass, but it's almost sure to beat a boombox!
