12" subwoofer build

[Bob345 39]

Ok so I have finaly decided to start my home audio setup and I wanted to designing the sub. My plans are to use a ssa DCON 12 in a downfiring box tuned to 25 hz with the port facing forward.I realy want to get a second opinion on this design. The dementions will be 17.5x17.5x17.5, simple enough,it will be constructed out of 3/4 mdf and the internal volume will be roughly 2.23 cuft after sub displacement. Il try to add pics of a cad modle I made of it asap, but as of now, I just want to get a second opinion. Will this work?, or should I go at this a different way

Is this for home theater or home audio? Tune it higher for home audio. You don't need it that low.

Its mostly going to be for theater use, but I will use it sometimes for music. You think around 28hz will suit my application for it better?
