P21REX/DD

First of all, helloooo just got here Wink

I've had this bassreflex subwoofer with Seas P21REX/DD 8" for a while but was never really happy with how it sounded so now I'm thinking about a WO for them and need a little input since I'm pretty much a rookie.
It's for home audio in a farely small room so will probably also be used as a table, in the 36*24" (10" high for 8" woofers right?) version.

Simulation 4th order bandpass:


Specs:
Fs: 33hz
Vas: 68.9l
Qts: 0.37
Qms: 2.36
Qes: 0.44
Spl: 91 dB

I don't know if it's a bad woofer for these kinds of subwoofer horn boxes.. doesn't seem to go very low before rolling off so.. What do you think? ???

I just realized I did the simulation under perfect conditions and not with the WO dimensions, will redo and check it!

Edit: Did a "quick" calculation of volume and fed it to WinISD resulting in:

Your drawing is spot on.

The second simulation, if correct looks better anyways.

The response may be slightly less sensitive, but it results in a larger flat response.  It begins dipping off later around 40Hz, where in a small room it is not unheard of to begin getting room gain.  So the drop off will be slower, if not close to none.  Resulting in a nice flat response.  I would build it, looking at its predicted response.

I would also build it because I absolutely love the design.  Can't get enough of it.  Its amazing, it will punch you in the chest, yet rumble your insides.
