Greets!
You're welcome!
They were all reflexes.
OK, I get a ~37.93 Hz Fb, the on-line calculator's math is heavily simplified and even then mine can be high or low depending on the driver's and vent's location on the baffle. Anyway, if your system feeds the speaker signals below its Fb, it will oscillate uncontrollably, increasing with decreasing frequency, causing the 'farting' sound of its suspension going extremely non-linear, so tuning higher as you suggest would just aggravate the problem.
Larger cabs tuned lower tend to protect the driver better overall, though of course a sealed or ~aperiodic (well stuffed TL) alignment will protect it all the way down against over excursion, though not from excessive thermal power or amp clipping issues. If you're going to stick with the 6 ft^3 though, I'd seal it up or at least convert the vent to ~aperiodic to improve its transient response. As you shrink a sealed cab it becomes increasingly under-damped, so by most (all?) folks standards around here they would consider this as going in the wrong direction for best performance, so lacking any driver specs my SWAG is that the Santana's cab would make it sound a bit less controlled, though it will have a bit more mid-bass 'slam' as the trade-off.
