I am planning on building an Adire Shiva into a 190 litre enclosure tuned to 19hz. I have modeled it in lsp cad and get a -3db of a hair under 17hz. Can anyone see any potential problems with this design (it is my first)?
Only the over excursion (exceeding Xmax) in the ~20-33Hz BW, but I wouldn't be overly concerned unless you like to really 'crank it' on movie special effects or organ tracks, then you will need dual drivers/PRs.

Short of changing driver (another one might be possible in the long term), if it is a problem, what should i do? The only thing i can think of is raising tuning frequency a bit.
How much do you mean by crank it? My room is 4.5x4 meters so i should be able to get good volume without the need for a bigger/more drivers?

Correct, though if you do then either reducing Vb or additional stuffing will be required to damp the peaking at Fb.

Drive it beyond Xmax, which is already defined as 10% distortion.
If the room is fairly well built/sealed, then I doubt it will be an issue.
Long term, I recommend either building a multiple low Qts/inductance annulled driver IB, or at least an EBS version, to get better damping/lower distortion.
For now though, time to build! 🙂
