I imagine this would do well under a good 15", crossover in the 60hz region.

** Everything below is theoretical and has not been built and measured yet **

Driver: Eighteensound 21LW2500
Enclosure Volume: 267.2 L 
Cabinet Tuning Freq: 31hz

nice project, but especially on  so performing woofers i I prefer to use to big vent ports..  ... even at cost to tuning bit higher...
there are 1x21 "reflex pro subs with over 700cm2 of mouth (not diy)

Do you have any plans available? 

I am desperately looking for a single 21" reflex cabinet i can use with my 21LW1400 driver. But so far without succes I am specifically looking for a reflex. No bandpass or horn.

Kind regards from mexico

I would if I knew what to do and how to calculate and all that stuff.
I am a productdesigner who does carpentry now on a small scale, so tools I might have.
Knowledge not so much.
Great wood - nope. 
Waterproof Marina Plywood or MDF is my best bet here.

Also I know this exists, but i do not know how to upscale it for a 21" driver.

Driver: 18Sound 21LW1400

Freq Range: 24-2000hz
Res Freq: 28Hz
VCdiam: 4"
Xmax: 9,5mm
Rec Tuning: 30Hz
Rec Volume: 300L

Alternatively i could get this driver here:
RCF LF21X451

The only two 21" drivers available for me here. The RCF is more expensive. 
The 18sound will cost me roughly 650Usd per driver.

The RCF is much much better driver.

Thank you. It will be the RCF then.
Trial and error and hopefully not lose all the money I hardly have.

I made a design but I somehow cannot figure out how to put the pictures in here.
roughly 340l
triangular ports 2x base/height 25cm 45degree, 488m long (28hz)
one u shaped brace in the middle horizontally (or is it better vertically?)

Can anybody help me to move forward?
I would love to have it built before rainseason arrives and you can watch every sheet material warp live.
