Rick,
I have one of these as well and this is my setup. My box is 3.6 cu. ft. Sealed WITH 3- Scan Speak AP vents. It is an aperiodically damped ENCLOSURE(NOT AP'd WOOFER). There is a big difference in overall performance going from sealed to ap! HUGE! I am eq'ing with a DBX DRIVERACK PA with a 1100watt CROWN amp. The overall efficieantcy went up and all the box resonances went away while power handling or volume if you will INCREASED. Front firing sub woofers will ALWAYS sound better. Any sub on the planet needs eq in your living room versus mine.... Sub bass is hugely affected my the room(nodes, etc). My "sub box" disappeared acoustically when I ap'd it and only smooth, accurate, great bass was left.
Thanx!
