>I did a quick simulation as an example; it appears that you could use a Fostex FE126E and shorten the port to about 1" long. The bass will be a little lumpy but not terrible. Different speakers will give different answers though!
There's also the matter of how low you need to go. If you're using a sub below 80Hz, for instance, then you don't need a driver that will give a 50Hz f3, you can use one that has higher sensitivity but only a 70Hz f3 and not be losing anything. It's when you want to go low with high sensitivity using a small box that you run up against the wall that is known as Hoffman's Iron Law.
