The Aura
1808 had free air resonance at 24Hz and required enormous sealed
enclosure of 14-16 cu feet. Wilson Audio used the Aura 1808 in their
unfortunately-ported XS subwoofers and soaked from their relatively
small enclosure an extra 19dB of port noise at 20Hz.
The 1808 was designed for a large vented enclosure. Just looking at the TS numbers would indicate a large vented box to be best. It also worked well in horn loaded designs as well.
PS: The wilson Audio XS was a great subwoofer just completely overpriced.
