I may have the Thiele / Small parameters for the relevant bass driver somewhere.
Unless our learned friend boyzo has already worked out the ideal size for the cabinet I am willing to do it for you.
But in my own time as and when available.
I will need the parameters...  |

Well for a sealed box 100 - 150 liters
for a vented probably 200 liters
I dont have VAS an Qt at hand for the B300
It depends on how low you want to go in trems of F3
I think 200 liters vented would shake the house

Here I think here KEF had a blind spot.
The B300 can perform but only in a large box sealed / reflex but not in the the 105 box.

Sealed 100 - 130 liters vented 200 liters tuned to 23 hz but you need to measure the actual VAS of the B300 as KEF's date is a static VAs not a Thiel Small VAS
