I am needing a little help designing a box for a tricky sub. The sub is a Massive Audio Hippo 122.
Specs here:

What I'm finding is .606 CF @ ~38hz is a pretty flat response. If I use the recommended - around 2.6 - 3.0 @ 28 to 32hz, there is a nasty hump followed by a dip. No way to get a flat response in a typical recommended enclosure.

Does in-cabin response (cabin gain) smooth out the plot? I am using WinISD, and I've read that it doesn't account for cabin gain somewhere... Is this true?
I have quite a few other subs that will model with a flat response down to 30hz.... Why does this one have such a weird hump for a sub with a 34hz Fs? Why is the output less than 1 of my 500 watt PG Ti 12's?? I will be feeding it 1500 watts.
Thank you
