Is it possible to put a 15" speaker in a 35cm cabinet

[djbfreak]

ok maybe a stupid question but... I can get I really great deal on Dayton PA380-8 woofers, but I to build the box 35cm wide, 55cm depth and max 55cm heigth. of course, these dimenssions are perfect for a 12" driver but, 15" drivers can do a bit more bass when I didn't bring my subs. how can it fit in? in angle? make a kind of horn, maybe good, maybe not...

just for info, I can get these used for 35$ each+ 15$ of shipping (only 2 are available.)

so I build a box with a 15" in angle in it or I build a box with only a 12" (and the horn of course)

thanks for your help!! 🙂

stay at 12" and build a THAM12, or front mount the 15" with a tiny bit protruding

35cm is 13¾"

A 15" driver can deliver more bass than a 12" but it must be in a larger box to do it.

the bass is a important fact of course but the main reason I wanted to build a speaker with a 15" speaker is for the air displacement, not sure what this mean... but someone told me it's an important fact for a PA

thanks 😉

I know what you you are getting at but you won't get that with a 15 crammed into a tiny box, big sound with visceral impact takes physically big speakers.. no way to cheat physics here sorry.
