Sonotube questions


After reading abot more over 2 weeks or so now i plan on going the sonotube route.

I just bought some 18" sonotube and have gathered some info from other builds it will be about 5' 3" tall and use some 15" driver.......most of the builds i looked at had outdated and discontinued drivers so thats also a question now as which driver to match this enclosure. Ill reference the build when i have time to search and find it, just some quick questions for now though.

I havent seen any specs on the sonotube portion of any writeup ive read.

I think this is more important than any other specs of the build and no one so far has given any...

So next questions are:

1) The sonotube i got was 17 3/4" inside diameter and 1/4" wall. Is this sufficient?

2) anyone know if all sonotube are equal in tensil strength or other brands and are they even as stong as a square box 3/4" particle enclosure. I assume you dont want any give to keep the accurate tones.

3) Most drivers are only rated to 20 hz. I assume the design of the enclosure gets you below this? Or is there something else that determines that?

4) I have 6" pvc pipe for the port and it is also 1/4" wall. Hows pvc for tensil strengh?
