I might point out that the original poster specified a 2-foot cube ^^^^^^
not "2 cubic feet" as the retort postings mentioned in both instances.
.

A 2-foot cube as specified is 2^3 = 8 cubic feet of volume.
I'd be interested in the calculations with this new volume (minus some
for wall thickness). A 2-foot cube is pretty good sized.

Remember the new Bose Yuppie boom box that was discussed a few
months ago?  The one that is supposed to have "decent" bass yet
is "the size of a bread box"?  What if you made one
of those with 8 cubic feet of box?  Remember the Bose was also supposed
to be ultra efficient.  What if you traded off efficiency as well?  Whatever.

P.S.- My AR-9 speakers are rated to 28Hz at -3dB, and to
      18 Hz DIN spec (-8dB from "average" 100-4000hz). The internal
      volume of the AR-9 is 120 liters (4.24 cu. ft) with (2) 12" woofers.
