The AE cited is said to be "designed for IB".  Since one does not "use the box" or a vent, etc. to jack up IB LF, it's going to be all about moving the 250g Mms through  the usual, steep, ULF filter.  Maybe a notch filter or anti resonance filter at ...

If you put ULF boxes where they "beam" best, would this not, none the less, re-create the weird (U)LF chart you have already shared, with +10 dB at the chair, TT, etc?  If so, perhaps you can have the wave cake and eat the full-pressure, too with the...
