Yeah, I have been frequenting HTShack, AVS, etc for a while now. I don't think I would be attempting this if I hadn't been silently been observing the amazing work, and feedback, of others. Thankfully the modeling is pretty straight forward with a sealed enclosure and I've already worked the numbers out.
The paper drivers present an interesting option. They have lower SPL at high power than metal drivers, and require less power (370watt rather than 600watt), resulting in a tad less overall vibration. Considering for the immediate future I will not be pushing the sub tremendously hard, I am tempted to see if this idea may work (not the TV part, just the mounting the VP150 in a connected vibration-dampened upper compartment). The design is modular, so the worst case scenario is simply a dual 12" driver setup, with a wall mounted VP150 above... I can live with that
