The 2226 is an excellent woofer, one of my favorites for the seven π. But it's not tuned for subwoofer use, and doesn't reach the 20Hz-30Hz range. As you've noticed, there's usable output from 30Hz up but bass starts to rolloff about 40Hz. The system is tuned to have a slightly overdamped alignment for corner loading. Corner loading brings up the bottom end and the overdamped alignment prevents a midbass peak.
