question about box for peavey woofers

Hello,

I have 2 peavey 15" woofers from PRO Sub MK II cabinets, is it worth to use thows elements to build something better than the original boxes, scoops, horns etc? or they are just to low spec drivers.

Just to explain why i would like to do somthing like this: i just have them laying around and now i have to sit home in quarantine with covid for 10 days so would be nice to construct something intresting + i love wood working projects :)

All the best

Looking at the manuals, looks like the Peavey PRO Sub MK II cabinets use the 00497080 Pro 15.
It's low BL means they won't work very well in most horns designs.
At only 2.5mm Xmax, they don't have enough displacement to make a whole lot of low bass, unless in large bass reflex boxes near the size of the VAS, tuned near Fs.
