I only scanned through his approach, so I may have missed some detail. But in general, I think he's using an overdamped vented alignment, one that gives a gradual rolloff, much like a sealed alignment. I'm cool with that, it's a very forgiving alignment. Then it looks like he uses EQ for extension. I would prefer addding subs, because it provides more sound sources a la the multisub approach. But assuming subs are off the table, and forgetting about room modes for a minute - just talking about extension, I suppose some EQ to bring up the low end of an overdamped vented cabinet would work. Gives adequate bass and let's you keep the box size down.
