Hello and thanks for the great reply. I learned a lot from you Wayne.
Here's where I'm at with design.
I building this enclosure arounds a TC Sounds TC3000.
QMS 6.1
Res 4.63
BL 27.1
Mms (grams) 373.00
Cms uN/M 136.00
Sd (m^2) .0820
Vas 127.60
Fs 22.35
Qes .330
Qts .313
nO 4.16E-03
SPL (dB) 88.19

This driver has quad 1.4 ohm voice coils that I plan on wiring for a .35 ohm load. That's why impedance rise is so critical. I want to a play one tone and one tone only (51 hz). I know that if I use 2 1000 watt RMS amps and wire it that way I will likely cause more than just hearing damage if I miss that target frequency. Anyway, below there should be a basic diagram of what I'm looking at building. All the dimensions are outside dimensions. The depth will be 17". I'm planning on using 3/4" MDF, but would open to doubling the outside wall thickness if needed.
Some of your thought would be great.
Thanks again and have a great day.

You might also try a traditional front-loaded horn and see what you come up with. Since you only need one frequency, you don't have to care as much about mouth area so the horn might not have to be all that big. You'll want the length to support 1/4λ resonance at your target frequency of 51Hz, so I can see why you chose 66". Pipe area and environment offset this some though, so you may find a slightly different length gives you an edge. You can play with that some in Hornresp and afterwards when you make a physical model.

Also try different rear chamber volumes to set it for the biggest peak at 51Hz. Making the rear chamber smaller will raise the mechanical resonant frequency of the woofer cone, so you will want to set that for the biggest peak at 51Hz. Too large will increase output below 51Hz and too small will increase output above 51Hz.

The throat area and front chamber volume will also have an effect on response, so play with those values. Smaller throats give higher compression ratios but be careful because too much compression will bend or tear your woofer cone at high excursion levels. The front chamber volume will act as a low-pass filter.

Finally, the shape of the pipe will have an effect on response so try different taper angles. Since you are only trying to generate a single frequency my gut feeling is a straight pipe will be fine but try tapered pipes as well.
