You may also want to minimize the weight of the box and the driver, itself. For example, Baltic Birch (plywood) weighs less than MDF and its also stronger. By building a braced box out of BB, you'll save weight and have a more rigid, better sounding enclosure. Same goes from drivers. An ID IDQ-10 is relatively light, designed specifically to work well in a small box (for even less weight) and it's one of the better SQ drivers on the market. It's also relatively sensitive, needing a less powerful, lighter amp. A Xtant 121M powers the driver wonderfully, weighs very little and can be had for a song on Ebay.

You mean JL W7s? Some of the heaviest drivers available that also need a relatively large (ie. heavy) box and a big (heavy) amp to get going? Great advice.
