How deep/how loud does it need to go?

I have two Apex Jr. Super 8's on order. They should be happy in 1/2 cf sealed, but WinISD says f3 is 66 Hz, f6 is 50, f10 is 38. Not room shaking, but maybe good in a vehicle with cabin gain.

The vendor suggests 0.83 cf with a 2" x 6" port. I'll probably push the tuning somewhat deeper. You could probably get by in 0.7 cf, but at some point there won't be enough room for the port tube.
