I just reviewed the picture to check my imaginative capability wasn't getting too carried away and it was. a bass box under the speakers and television unit would look Daft.
for the athletic of this situation a nice white painted front ported 12" subwoofer located instead of the table to the left would look good from a ascetic/artistic point of view and likely a placement/sonical sense as well.

Passive radiator would save room. larger ported cabinets can use shorter ports. but for smaller cabinet passive radiator makes sense. needs larger surface area than the active driver because of how it works.
The excursion of the radiator has to match the woofer
Of course! Don't know how I missed that. Thanks!
what I see to be a table with a amplifier on and a computer standing beneath? why not place a sub there.
That's basically the idea. I was wanting stereo subs, but this is now my plan. I'm building a proper table there, so I'll build it to house the amp, PC, and woofer.
I dont see how the 6 inchers extend that low realistically, though some may be the room size
The drivers have an excursion limit of 10 mm each way, so theoretical SPL at 30 Hz is about 101 dB without room gain. The speakers themselves respond well to 26 Hz (glass panes shake like mad, clothes vibrate a lot on me, etc.). The woofer still needs to fill in <35 Hz to bring levels of sub-bass up to 0 dB at least.
Under the table and mains..
There's an idea!! Even if I didn't go with a TL, I could simply use a low profile woofer (or perhaps two in the same cabinet, separate enclosures), with a port on each end. Something like attached.

I think I might go with JBL GT5-10. The enclosure volume will be about 65L, internal dimensions about 16 x 65 x 63 cm, vent frequency at 25 Hz. That should sound awesome! And I get my stereo...

From a Peerless to JBL GT5-10 you will never be satisfied, Try a Peerless Peerless 835017 12" Aluminum Cone XXLS Subwoofer its a rather fun subwoofer. I got 17Hz response and use it for movies mostly, really a nice subwoofer and needs only 150RMS with a proper signaling front end.
$220 is waay over budget. I was wanting to spend $50 per driver, stereo. When I saw that UM10, I was just about willing to spend the $170, but that's also too much.

Before my current system, I got 17 Hz from a Sakyno cheapo 10" car woofer I bought from cash cruisaders years ago for R150, and I only needed 90 W for it. I used it because it measured the best of the drivers I had, and it sounded really good!
