| 1) What dimensions for 1808 baffle would you suggest? |

It would be easy to circulate from the resonance frequency of the driver. The 1808 marked at 24Hz but in practice it could be anything from 23 to 29Hz. Since you will not despite a lot of power on the driver I would drop own resonance frequency as low as possible. The Northern Sound made it as low as 11Hz that should make the box much smaller. With default version go big, 14-15 cub feet will not hurt, larger is better but the exec number should be calculated, it very simple.

Depends of the frequency and the slope. If you make it to run only at the lowest octave then it would be no deference if were floor-firing or front-facing

| 3) Any *general tips* about placement of 1808 cone(s), in relation to midbass horn channel (e.g., time alignment) and room boundaries? |
|
Nope, there are never any “general tips”

| 4) Your thoughts about digital equalization (DEQ2496) for <50Hz subwoofer channel ONLY? |

It is all depends how good your LF amplifier and how evolved your reference points for bass reproduction.Rgs,
