Eminence Alpha 10 for home hi-fi

I decided to build a pair of speakers for my latest amp project, but I still have problems choosing the woofer. At first I had the idea to use the Eminence Alpha 10. I used WinISD to calculate the volume of the box and the vent and I WAS satisfied with the results.

However I notised that the speakers are recommended for reinforcement systems and the recommended volume is 42-71l.
I calculated a volume of 100-120l (for 40-45Hz at -3dB). Are these two points a problem?

So is Alpha 10 usable for 120l home/hi-fi, or should i make a better choice?

Thanks in advance🙂
 
Wayne Parham has two designs that use the Alpha 10. The two pi is 40.91 litres gross internal volume and uses a port 1.91" internal diameter x 1.875" long. The two pi tower is 127.09 litres gross internal volume, and the port is 4.5" diameter and 5/8 " long. The plans specify 5/8" material for all panels. Wayne is great about sending diagrams if you ask for them. More info here:
