The thing is, if in fact the peak bass output is around 40 hz and drops off below that with an f3 of about 28hz, this project result does appear to closely follow a known alignment. (I know the O/P used a higher box volume, but that can work better in practice).

If you compare the manufacturer's specs with the data in the chart, it tracks well with the predicted ratios for a No. 7 C4 vented box.

Total Speaker Q Value (Qts): .489
Free Air Resonance (Fs): 37.9 Hz
Equivalent Compliance (Vas): 27.38 liters
Suggested Box Volume (VB): 1.50³ ft

NO. 7. Type .....C4
Ripple.... 0.13 dB
f3/Fs........ 0.729
fB/Fs.......0.829
VB/Vas......1.372
Qt..............0.466

Not only that, I think for normal music input, around 40 hz is a good place to have strong output. I'll bet that system rocks! Anyway, the O/P built a solid vented system that has to be considered a success.
