Actually I would argue that the more subwoofers you actually have (along the wall behind the front speakers) the less time aligning you will have to do.

Having a single driver per enclosure and more enclosures nets you more subwoofers, which is beneficial (as per your links above). A cube-ish shaped box is about as simple as it gets to put together (braces can be as simple as "a stick" cut to length glued between in the inner wall. You can have...

*doh* My bad, amail is indeed correct, a sealed enclosure for a given driver is generally smaller than a bass reflex. Not sure what I was thinking writing the opposite :-) It is also true that a sealed box has a less sharp roll off than a bass reflex. But a bass reflex enclosure tends to go...

If it were me I would pick a couple of different drivers, run some simulations for enclosures and most likely end up with a couple of alternatives to choose from.

The very short version. The TS parameters describes a drivers physical+electrical behaviour/properties when in free air. If put in any sort of enclosure, the behaviour/properties will change drastically. TS parameters dictates what enclosure is best suitable for any perticular driver...

Had to look up the Dayton Ultimax data and from what I can tell, it is a completely different speaker. Very little in common with the Dibeisi one. Apart from the cheap one being made with cheaper materials, it more importantly also has completely different TS parameters, confirming that it has...

For clarification. I don't suggest that anyone spread "subwoofers around the room", I did however suggest that multiple subwoofers behind the main front speakers along/against the wall is beneficial. Spacing them equally along said wall is a good starting point, but it may not end up being the...

It all depends on the room obviously, but imho, spreading multiple subwoofers evenly against and along the same wall as your main front speakers is generally beneficial compared to a single one. If you move them around and measure the results at your listening position you can achieve very good...

Since it seems you are pretty early in the planning stage I would consider hiring an acoustician. A good one will be able to help you to make construction plans, choose cheap but effective building materials to save on cost. A good one should also suggest to measure the room before the build to...
