Box size/tuning suggestions for efficiency..

So I have a single IB 10" sub. Infinity Perfect 10.1.

About 200 watts to play around with. It sounds good musically as is - but I'm stuck at home sick for now, and I've been curious to do this for a while.

I'm looking to build the most efficient enclosure system with a single low powered sub, just to show it off to people, and show how much of a difference the enclosure makes.

I'm interested in potentially a 6th order bandpass through the rear deck, or a 4th order. I'm looking at nailing the lows particularly well, to also show that you don't need a big sub to get down there.

I have access to wood, and a LOT of PVC pipe. My dad's a plumber. So anything from half an inch all the way to 6, 8 inch pipe, is easily obtainable.

Suggestions as to sizing, tuning, what would be most efficient design to go for here?

Sub specs.

Qts - .42

Qms - 8.83

Qes - .441

Fs - 28.35hz

Vas - 1.134 ft^3

Rated for 350 watts.

No suggestions?

Still nothing?

I'm thinking 24hz, and 48hz, but I'm unsure of sizes.

Using a bit of winisd, I'm thinking 24hz, 50hz, 3 cubes, and .75 cubes, respectively. Anyone else want to provide some input?
