Lii Audio Enclosure Suggestions

Good morning, I have recently started into DIY speaker enclosure building and love it. I currently have two builds under my belt and I have been using the Lii Audio F6's and the F8's. These are fantastic drivers and have incredible detail in the mids and highs. So far I have built the following enclosures:
Lii Audio F6's

Lii Audio F8's enclosure and driver specs

Both of these were fun builds but they lack in the bass department. I really am enjoying the F6's a lot but I want to get more base out of them. I have been doing some research and have found these builds for the Fostex FE166's that I am hoping will work with these Lii's as well.

Can anyone confirm for me that the F6's will work in the link right above. Meaning the speaker specs are close enough that I will get good results.

I am also interested in other BLH designs that will work with these speakers along with Double Bass Reflex. I am enjoying learning how different enclosures with the same speaker give different results. Ideally I am looking for an enclosure that I really like, then I will build it in some nice wood, for now I use MDF.

Thanks in advance

Coaxial/wizzer cone single drivers all suffer from roll offs at the frequency extremes. It's the nature of the beast although some people swear they're the only way to go. The best way to get the lower octaves of bass is to add a subwoofer. Plenty of good designs out there and the cabinets usually aren't difficult to build. But if you like complicated cabinets, that Fostex will fill the bill. Figuring the proper dimensions for a transmission line cabinet can be pretty complicated, although there are some programs that will do most of the work for you. And like any design, the cabinet is tailored to specific drivers. Whether or not your F6's will work in the Fostex cabinet is anybody's guess. Compare the parameters of the two drivers (especially impedance, resonant frequency, and equivalent (Vas) and see how close they are.
