This is my first TV, speakers, and subwoofer ever. Please review and lmk what you think so far.
I bought a Dayton 15", a Crown XLS 602 to drive it, and a minidsp to control the signal with EQ and bandpass filters.
this is the speaker: http://www.loudspeakerdatabase.com/Dayton/DCS385-4
I did a lot of research but am still a rookie. The background is: I was reading about getting some decent speakers on the internet, got the jbl 530s on sale and then read I should get a sub to go with it, and people said I could build my own for cheaper and they'd be better. I watched youtube videos and read around and like fun project to do and went down a rabbit hole and now I have this. I even built the TV console custom to fit this dimension sub underneath. I learned about winisd and added some EQ for a flat profile while not breaking xmax. Oh also the port velocity, its under 20. But that's all I really checked, I don't know what the rest mean really so if anyone experienced here wants to take a look and help it would be appreciated.
All the port panels and braces are still unattached, so I'm wondering if y'all have any comments before I finish the port side of the box and seal it up. I could still change the tuning frequency/port length a bit or add more bracing. I am gonna round out the port corner and seams with liquid nails. This is going underneath the shown TV console I built so the box is strictly limited in the given dimensions/volume.
My goal for the sub is when I'm playing videogames or watching movies, when an explosion or something goes off it will go "boom" and sound good. Just kidding, the TV is only used by my wife to watch The Real Housewives....

Couldn't really see much and don't use WinISD anymore, but it appears to be a similar size, tuning to one I HR simmed for another DIYer and all seems to be OK.
Is it going to be a transmission line enclosure ... if it is the internal baffles need to slow the air movement down to increase efficiency but driving it with a Crown 602, efficiency doesn't matter!
