can somebody check my box calcs?

So I'm figuring now on a box for 7 RE re8's, could you check my calcs?

7 x 10.5 x 35.62 port for 35hz according to http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31 I think that has the right correction factor for my slot port

3.5 ft^3 box net

.63 ft^3 driver displacement

1.5 ft^3 port

.16 ft^3 port wall

All in a 24" tall x 45" wide x 12" deep box which totals 5.95 ft^3 to allow space for allthread bracing and rounded corners in the box.

Please let me know if my calcs look right and if a port that long would cause me any issues. The port will vent out the top of the box so only one bend in it, subs forward. My last calc will be to see if the box will actually have enough surface area for the 8's after the port run. If all looks good I will be building tonight.
