neat tip on golden ratios for box.
This may help on internal treatment:

Hi Willy, excuse me this late reply seems I have missed your post :peek:
Golden ratio enclosures always good, it dismiss the use of internal bracing, mirror image also good, but even the mentioned 10L enclosure goes only to 75Hz what is too discreet bass performance  to a satisfactory listening, hence this I would go with the Frugal Horn as Suggested by Dave, in second place a even bigger Bass Reflex box to additional bass reinforcement.

Seems the SB12 can delivery more bass(Fs 52Hz) than the SB10 Fs89, Iam thinking in fullrange use no subwoofer.
Hello, no worries, and thanks for your recommendations.
After further consideration, it seems 10L golden ratio will not work for the intended space. Further, I see not much change between 4-5L and 8-10L in terms of Qtc and frequency response. So I might just go with the smaller volume. In the future I am planning to add midbass, crossed over at the line level, passive or active is still to be decided. :)
Thank you!

Have just see Madisound placed this SB Acoustics SB12PAC25-4 in the woofers section, its response start to fall around 170/180Hz :scratch:

It could nice to listen a comparative test with the 4'' alu cone brother:

I found a similar issue with FE85's and a bit of glypt on the dustcap and seam did wonders.  A little less top end, and lowered the Fs a hair, but worthwhile for me. Eventually, I gave in and added a tweeter.

Might be a very worthwhile midrange though.  If I do another, I want to get the crossover out of the midrange.  A "wide band" (sure glad folks are not saying full range) has considerable promise as most mids are too low efficiency.  Think Wideband with sub and super-tweeter instead of traditional 3-way.
