I'm looking at building some speakers that are flat down to at least 24Hz. I was planning to use 12" Ultimaxes but there are a couple of high end 15" drivers (Acoustic Elegance) I'm also considering which don't really go down past 30Hz in a ported box.
I'm wondering if it would be OK to build a box tuned to around 24Hz anyways. When I model it, it starts to roll off similarly to a sealed enclosure and then has a steeper rolloff from the port. My idea would be to then EQ it flat down to 26Hz or so. Basically lowering everything to match where it is at 26Hz. In terms of power handling and excursion, the driver is fine.
Are the any reasons I shouldn't do this?
Here's an example -
