Good Passive Downfiring Sub?

Are there any good downfiring passive subs to consider?

Currently looking a building a PE 15 Ultimax kit paired with the B side of a Behringer NX6000D to round out the lower end of a pair of front facing 10's powered of the A side of the amp. It would sit behind a pair of reclining seats in a high traffic area out of sight with little ones. Frankly, I don't ever want to buy a sub with an integrated amp again with cheap flexible DSP power available. That said, I don't see many options out there that are not DIY projects.

Outlaw audio. X-13 is a beast, also X-12 and M-8 depending on needs and wants.

Edit: sorry. Brain froze on “passive”

Ok, if Trump gives me 2Grand, RBH all the way :)
Well the good thing about Brick & Mortar brands is that you might be able to get them for half that. ;)

BTW, I have a total of 12 subs in my house and all of them are passive.

Can't say I've seen passive downfiring sub offerings but then I never particularly looked for one. I didn't even consider building one nor calculated to see if any of my drivers are suited for that orientation (there's a formula for that somewhere). For those reasons I'd stick to diy.

Is the RBH suitable for that driver orientation? Or an option I missed?
