Critique my F200a design

[steviedon]

So.....been playing around in winisd. Before any slamming comes my way.....the goal here was to get good response in a large standmount monitor. I do understand that more extension can be had with this driver in a much larger cabinet......but just not possible considering space and overall room design criteria. Ended up with a 1.5ft3 quasi golden ratio ported cab tuned to 37hz....inside dimensions 14.25w X 8.25D X 22T. Provided the sim translates to the actual end result I think I've got something here......F3 of 42hz and F10 of 30hz respectively. Thoughts?

I'm guessing the lack of feedback is due mostly to little subjective experience with this pricey driver. My only pertinent question I've yet to decide on is port diameter..........will going with a shorter 2" port introduce port noise? My logic says no, as the driver is not moving enough air to be of concern at only 2mm xmax.

Given my experience using WinIsd, there's no reason why you shouldn't get decent bass response, unless the provided TS numbers are completely OTL.

Both boxes I've done turned out ok.
