I think it will make sound if that helps... And probably about 2-5 minutes

play it at the tuning freq and the speaker won't need to move too much

3 cubes is right. whats wrong with having no "back pressure"?

Yikes. Why not just set the speaker inside the box, instead of bothering to cut a hole and mount it? Unless, of course, you plan on using it as a port later. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Might as well not build a box. Thats whats wrong. It would be like cutting a hole in the wall of your house and using the house as an enclosure for a 15".

not quite the same. if i port the box then it should be able to move like mad and i will still get the positive effects of a ported box, being that the sound wave will be slowed down through the port to make (nearly) the equivilent of two speakers.

that defeats the purpose of a ported box

The sub will move too much, you'll destroy the suspension before anything else. A smaller box would work better, if you play the sub at the box's tuning frequency it will make the most sound w/ the least movement.

im not worried about blowing it. its not even a sub

If you mount the speaker in an enclosure larger than the VAS of the speaker, it will act as if its playing free-air anyway. This size box has got to be way over that 4" speaker's VAS. Add to that grossly overpowering the speaker by hundreds and thousands of watts, and you might as well just hook it to the wall socket with no box, it will have just about the same results.
