this is getting too complicated for me. Im thinking on the lines of sealed front facing drivers, i have measured the room i have for it, and i can go 17"deep by 59" wide, height is open slather. possibly with a port. I realize this is not going to be as good as some of the other designs, but it would look the part, 2 15" subs looking at you. What im not sure about and was always under the understanding of is that bass is generally non directional, so would it matter if i placed it in the side of the room? also, the amp measured above mentions 350W RMS at 4 ohm, 240W at 8 ohm. If these speakers are twin voice coils, therefore hook both terminals on one speaker in parallel to give me 2 ohm a speaker. Then, hook both speakers up to the amp is series to give me 4 ohm. would this work and how much watts would i feed into these?
Are you saying that you will have the sealed box out of sight, like an IB setup? If so with your limited amp power you really really need to consider the IB for it's much better effeciency.
