The Kicker recommendations for box size are for car audio use, in a house it is different. I will model this later today when I get home from work. Can you place the sub in a corner of the room?
49 liters ported tuned to 24 hz would require a 4 inch diameter port 31 inches long. Modeling shows the box is too small for this sub and low end extension suffers. You may as well put the sub in a 49 liter sealed box.
The usual connection is Kenwood LFE output - amplifier - subwoofer. I'm not sure if the SDPIF to Realtek will affect this or not. You will have to do some research.
