Look at how it is constructed and buy the parts from www.partsexpress.com
.
Here are reviews from hams that own this speaker:

I don't know if I would trust that speaker to "sound sweet", it is a
"tuned port, bass reflex speaker", and those tend to have a peaky
resonant bass, not a sweet bass sound. They probably used the "tuned
port, bass reflex" because the box would have had to be larger than
their target size otherwise.
A properly tunned box will sound pretty good and not boom.
The decision of ported vs open or closed depends greatly
on the driver itself, dictating which enclosure is best
suited for itself. Higher Qts is a closed box, and higher still is
open box. Lower Q must be ported to get the bass back from the higher
damping.
The box no doubt goes too low. You need a roll off
above 50 Hz. A larger computer system also goes too low.
