I have a pair of RS 40-1034 drivers that I was planning to use for a subwoofer, but when I model the cabinet in WinISD it comes up with a massive sealed box (basically 3ft x 4ft x 6.75ft)if I want a fairly flat response. To get the box to a "reasonable" size (approx. 1ft x 2ft x 3ft) there is a huge bump starting at about 100Hz, hitting 2 db at about 45Hz, then dropping off to 0db at about 31Hz and -3db at about 27Hz.
Is there anything I can do in the crossover/filter that would help flatten the response? My worry is that if a have the filter roll off sooner to compensate then the drop on the back side of the curve will be pretty severe and I'll loose the bottom end. Alternatively, I thought about crossing them over at about 60Hz. But that seems a bit of a waste.
I couldn't find actually T-S parameters for these, but one source suggested that they are essensially 40-1026A's whcih have T-S parameters of:
Nominal Impedance:..........................8 ohms

Any thoughts?
I was going to use these to supplement some computer monitors I wanted to build, but they now seem a pit overkill for that. So, maybe I'll use them with my Fostex horns.
