I'd recommend emailing ADS and trying to get your hands on the T/S
parameters. Once you have them, plug them into an applicable enclosure
program.

Ported or sealed depends on your experience/preference etc. Normally one
tosses the xo components inside the enclosure for a streamlined look.

I'd also recommend some recessed carrying handles to ease in transport.
As well as heavy duty grills for protection.
