Well, I did some crude tests with a 10" eminence beta 10.
Putting this woofer in a box, then placing *it* inside another
box that was about 3x longer to simulate the recessed part seemed
to give me louder bass, more directional since it was shooting out
the big box, similar to a horn loaded box but with no expansion horn.
hehehe

Placing a board to cover the opening (at a 45 degree angle)
about 1/3 to 1/2 just seemed to suppress the SPL and alter the
freq slightly. Appears that I choked the bass output - haha
*BUT* it was still louder and more punchy than just having
the box sit there in open space.

Hornloading does rule, too bad I don't have the room to make
what I really want to make. There is no magic bullet.

For now, I will stick with my traditional design, perhaps someday
make a horn loaded system. hahaha

I do like the chest pounding midbass from concerts.
