Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build
@hsbrock , I used Bassbox Pro by Harris Technologies.  I have a couple of other progams but they are no longer available.   
Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build
@hsbrock , the modeled response that I described up-thead checks out.  It assumes 3 dB from boundary reinforcement at 40 Hz, and 6 dB from boundary reinforcement at 20 Hz, and a lowpass filter frequency no higher than 80 Hz.  It also assumes the T...

@hsbrock , I want to double-check something.  It might take me a couple of days.  Duke  
Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build
@hsbrock I didn't use that 27 Hz figure; I just used the T/S parameters and a modelling program and estimated the boundary reinforcement from placement in or near a corner.   I don't claim my suggestion is perfect, but it should be "in the ballpa... 
Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build
Thanks for posting the T/S parameters, @hsbrock . You might try 7 cubic feet net internal volume tuned to about 24 Hz. This plus some boundary reinforcement should get you down to 21 Hz ballpark in-room.  
Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build
@hsbrock , do you have the other T/S parameters?   Qes, Qms, and Vas at a minimum?  Imo 54 Hz is an unusually high free-air resonance for a 15" home audio subwoofer.  Is this a car audio subwoofer?  Or a prosound driver?   
Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build
"I've got a driver with free air Fs at 54 1w/1m, but free air response remains fairly even down to 27Hz above 95dB" This sounds unusual to me.  What woofer is this?   
Interesting Read From a Recording Engineer about EQ
IF you decide to use equalization, DO NOT equalize the in-room response of the left and right channels independently. You want the first-arrival sound to be identical from both channels for a variety of reasons, including image stability. Apply th... 
Your experience of moving to two subs
According to acoustics and psychoacoustics researcher Earl Geddes, the in-room bass smoothness increases in proportion to the number of independent bass sources. So two subs can theoretically be twice as smooth in-room as one sub; four subs can th...
