I'll make the suggested changes soon here too. Probably tonight.

The DSP6 has a external control, although the UI would be better via the laptop.

Like Jimbo said, if you want excursion, go sealed. A subwoofer excursion will be decreased the closer to you get to the enclosure's tuned frequency in a ported enclosure to nearly nothing right at the Fb. Play a frequency lower than Fb, and watch out (excursion-wise)... at lower than Fb, you can unload the subwoofer since the enclosure cannot control the driver.

buddy of mine had a fish (can't remember what species) that jumped out of his tank & fell behind the tank stand. Didn't realize it until the smell came lol.

You really want a mid-range Q IB in the door IMO (.4-.6), otherwise it will sound very bloated & uncontrolled. Power handling really isn't an issue. Mechanical handling is.

late to the TOP

I do believe there is a Zapco rep on DIYMA though.
