A friend of mine has asked me to help him put together a high impact 5.1 in-wall system with a $3500 budget for mains and surrounds.

Commercial in-walls would definitely be the easy way out, but I've always had an eye on the Dynamic series at Clearwave. If we could find a way to squeeze the 4T / 4CC / 1S into a functional in-wall design that would be fantastic.
:sn
I'm thinking of sealed enclosures 84" x 14.25" x 4" for the 4T's and 60" x 20" x 4" for the 4CC. I don't see any way around building out of 1/2" MDF here. Lots of bracing will be needed. I'd also like to sandwich the baffle from the original design onto the gigantic enclosure as well to give extra support and more mounting depth. Not sure if that's OK though to have varying thicknesses on your front baffle. Couldn't be too much worse than running 4 RS180's on a 1/2" baffle though. :twisted:
That's about 0.4cf for each RS180 and 0.15cf for the mid/tweet enclosure. A little on the small side but could be made bigger if need be. Could even do slot ports if we decided to go big. Just means we'd have to put in a longer header.
:beer2:
Is this even doable in such a shallow enclosure? Will the drivers be able to function in that environment?
Thanks you guys. Your comments and feedback are always very much appreciated.
