Re: The effect of the box on tuning mid-bass...

Narrow baffles are anti-matter when it comes to bass response and speaker sensitivity/linearity. If your box is .5 cubic foot then my guess is because of using typical audiophile approved narrow baffles you now have to take away 6 db of sensitivity from your speakers midrange to compensate. For details look at Steve E's link. You could build wings and attach them to the baffle that slant back a bit (or build some bass horns for your midwoofers!) and gain some of the sensitivity back. Or build a 3-way and set the little box on top of proper sized bass enclosure that requires no midrange padding.
