Would anyone know if the GPA 604-8H-II suit the Hiraga's MLTL cabinet? Also, how does the bottom port look like for that MLTL?

Am probably going for the old Onken cabinet but was hoping to be able to find the most compact solution whilst still have some bass slam without requireing a separate woofer.

Also just to note, these speakers are in a concrete apartment, not a wooden house so a very different expectations of bass

Not aware anyone has posted it, so strictly from marketing 'speak' it 'sounds' like a floor loaded Onken with maybe some damping added.

Re the Onken, the 360 is much too large for the series II unless driven with a matching impedance amp, so normally would be a smaller custom version based on either just driver specs or with some series resistance. Overall, a tall, 30" wide vented tower [aka MLTL] has proven to work well with all 604s.

Based solely on published specs, the theoretically best overall performing would be the pioneer's Vas/1.44 = ~321.35 L/11.348 ft^3 net, tuned to actual Fs. GPA recommends 254.85 L/9 ft^3 net tuned to Fs IIRC. Corner loading will allow 169.9-226.53 L/6-8 ft^3 net tuned to Fs or maybe even sealed if the corners are concrete construction.
