description: Put them in a 10ft3 box tuned to 40Hz with plenty of duct area. An example would be two 6" diameter ports, each 5" long or four 4" diameter ports, each 5-1/2" long. Brace the cabinet well.

description: Yes, put a pair of 2226 drivers in a 10ft3 box. Dimensions aren't critical, provided it's a rectangular box with no single dimension extremely long. I'm not concerened about internal standing waves above 100Hz because it's a subwoofer, so you'll low-pass it.

description: Make the box 35" wide x 22" tall x 13" deep. Use two 4" diameter ports that are 5-1/2" long. Use 3/4" or 18mm Baltic Birch or MDF. Brace well using cross-braces (front-to-back and side-to-side) on each side of the woofer along the 35" dimension. The braces can be made using scrap cut from the panels.

description: The (35" x 22" x 13") dimensions I gave you were inside dimensions. My dimensions create a box with 5.7ft3 internal volume. The additional size makes up for displacement from the parts inside. Your (30" x 20" x 20") dimensions make a box with larger internal volume, 7ft3 to be precise. That 2ft3 is more than would be displaced by the parts. You could go with (30" x 19" x 17"). That's pretty close to the volume of my original dimensions. It doesn't have to be exact. Thermal changes at various power levels make more difference than a small volume or tuning change in the box. But still, try to keep it within +/- 10% of 5ft3. Otherwise, you should modify the ports accordingly.
