I don't know what they show, but it looks good as a vented enclosure at 1.0 ft^3 net air space. Tuned at 29.6 Hz with a port (round) 3" X 19". The driver displacement is shown in the manual and you can figure port displacement using

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
Thanks for the help......that seems really small for a vented enclosure? also i'd rather use slot ports but i can do that work myself i just have no skill with the enclosure programs Thanks again!

That's just what I used....an enclosure program. That's a good size for that 10, anyway. Make a slot port 2" x 3" X 16" and you'll get the same thing....a great response.
It's tough to figure this one for vented because to get the port size large enough so that there is no chance of air noise at high volumes, the port grows super long. If we use minimum vent size calculators, the min. size for slotted would be almost 6" X 6"........and then the box has to grow in volume to get the port size shorter. There has to be a trade-off somewhere.
