Bill, Paul (I recognized the name), and Dave: thanks.

I have to apologize- I discovered that the TAD 805 enclosure has a solid false bottom, and actual internal volumne is 959 cu in (0.55 cu ft, 15.7l). I'm guessing that effects your calculations, and if you had a moment to re-calculate, thad be awesome.

I noticed the FE126E, and also that it's rated at 93db! Would have to make an adapter to fit it since it's smaller. Also considering the Fostex BK12 complete speaker kit, but I believe the shape of the 805SD enclosure may be why I like it so much. Also Tang Band D4-1 kit looks interesting.

Bass response. I remember in the 70's visiting Pacific Stereo stores. Very large enclosures, and if ya wanted to go "first class", get the 5-way ones! Loud, powerful, thumping bass. ELECTRIC bass. Bass dominated the music, like Bob Marley, or some disco. Not interested in that.

Lately listening to a lot of 60's honky tonk- there's a lot of excellent, in-studio recorded stand-up bass. Charlie Louvin's "I'm No Longer in Your Heart" a really good example. Does not shake your pant legs or rattle the windows, but it does fill the air with beautiful harmonics. So smaller speakers may be fine for me. Also, I think most of the recorded music information is in an area that is way above the lower and way below the upper thresholds of hearing (especially mine).
