Fusion Encounter 10"

Well I got a great deal on one of these woofers, and decided to buy it. Well, I am going to build a box this sunday if weather permits, so I need some suggestions.

Since its a 10" it the manual suggests a little ove 1 cube ported to 42hz, however I think it is on the small side, and dont want it to sound too peaky. I wanted to do 1.25 ported to 35hz.

something like this

I was planning on powering it with an Alpine MRP-M350 which puts out 350 RMS @ 2ohm if it matters.

The T/S specs are:

Max Power Rating (Watts):400

perhaps I was too vague. I was looking on some recomendations for a ported box, leaning to sq for a woofer with these specs.

I know that some companies post the smallest box possible, just so people would buy it, so any suggestions?
