Hello, does anybody know what is the best Vb and Fb for Hivi F6?
I'm talking about bookshelf speakers.
Thank you.

If you wanted a closed box most of us could probably pull a number off the top of our head. Maybe if you could simulate a few different boxes, show response and group delay and post the results.
Up to about the Vas value, a vented design should work out nicely, assuming T/S were as presented by manufacturer. Try a simulator.
I tried with bassbox but the result was very unrealistic. The suggestion was around 15l and Fb below 45hz.
I think around 20l and Fb around 45hz is more appropriate configuration, but i'm not pretty sure.

Realistically achievable can be anything one decides, the difference is in the sound quality for a particular setup. Your call.
I may be a little divergent here.
I wouldn't use that driver (or most drivers) at any Vb>Vas. With excursion that small on the F6, one would also be well advised to tune the box higher than Fs as well. The number you need to look at for a ported box is Qa (?) and for small, low power drivers like the F6 it helps to have more box support than sims show.
Relation between Vas and Enclosure volume
I do know a lot of folks have built speakers with this driver, though I'm not keen on the peak approx 1k that needs a notch filter for sure, and the gunk in the crossover stopband that makes it very hard to cross over with anything less than LR4 slopes, or into a very crossover that requires a pretty beefy tweeter.

If you already have a tweeter in mind, it should be crossed around 2k or lower, with a resonance trap on the woofer to help with the ragged octave just above crossover. The SB26STCN is a nice cheap tweeter that would do a decent job, the SB29RDCN is a better tool for the job.

Wat the optimim volume is deends on your goals.
On 1st glance sims show that it fits into 5-10 litres vented and max flat sealed is about 5 litres.
You get about 10 hz lower vented (F10), and low 50s sealed.

The 20 litre box gives a really ugly roll-off, the 15 litre a quite damped response, good if you have lots of room gain.
