Do you guys think these subs would do the trick? I want to have 2 seperate actual subwoofers, 1x driver per, prefferably in the smallest box possible as i have space/placement limitations (NO WAF, just a very narrow theater room (11' wide x 20' long).

Keep cranking,

Basically its about an 9' ceiling, 11' wide, and 20' long. I have a projector ceiling mounted about 17' from a 118" screen. The dimensions of the screen basically fill up all but about 18" to the left and right of it before you hit wall, and ceiling to floor is only about 13" on top or bottom of screen. So, with having to place my FL/FR speakers in the front, i dont really have any good placement options as far as getting the subs in the corners. In the rear of the theater there is only 1 corner which is where i have my HSU sitting, and next to that is the A/V equipment (htpc, receiver, etc) So, i could in theory put 1 sub there, and the other sub somewhere else that wouldnt be quite as ideal.

I can draw and upload a picture with the layout, if it would help.

I guess my main concern is would these perform in a reasonably sized sealed box? Maybe as a downfiring sub, or something along those lines? I could deal with a 21x21" footprint and height of maybe 28" at most. Would that be sufficient? Or would i risk bottoming out the sub, etc.

Also, how is the musicality / sound quality of these subs? One thing i particularly like about my HSU is how it sounds with music, although 80% of the HT is used for movies or TV shows.

Nice and all but it does nothing to help performance (99% of the time) and once that box is all sealed up it's hard to appreciate it anymore. More time spent on the outside would be best. I should take my own advice.... nah. Black paint.
