How deep is your budget and how particular are you? Are you looking for nice audio, or the ultimate in home theater reproduction?I had a while ago. Not entirely sure who the players are in that segment.

Shape doesn't matter. Interior volume does.I could easily reproduce the shape and volume of a standard wall cavity if that is what the speaker has been optimized for.

Not for the interior of a sealed box.Shape really doesn't matter? Even funny angles and stuff? I've read speaker design summaries talking about 45-degree this and that...
That depends on what you're trying to do. Are you simply making an spot to place a commercial subwoofer, or are you planning to build a DIY subwoofer into that spot where the enclosure of the speaker is also the structure of the cabinetry?How about the space for the Sub? I've allocated a cube 24" wide, 24" deep, and nearly 30" high with almost the entire front open (covered in speaker fabric). At the moment I only have the entry-level Polk sub (PSW10) to toss in there. Should I worry about reinforcing the sides? Sealing it?

With that in mind, I'm not sure what would be done with even a store-bought unit to "fit" that location.
Well, there are two approaches. Leave it open to the whole inside of the cabinet structure or wall it off. I'd probably favor the latter.
I'd leave it on the floor.Awesome. And leave it sitting on the floor? Or put a bottom on that part of the cabinet as well?
How many watts are you going to running down the cable? Unless it's hundreds of watts (nearer the 1kW range) 12ga wire is fine.If you needed to run speaker wire over 100' from the amp to the speaker, what speaker wire would you use? Shielded? Larger Gauge?
What if they wanted a volume control on the wall much closer to the speakers than the amp? Is there something that can control an amplified signal?
