Box suggestion for 12" AB HD

[Adnan 10+ year member]

Hi guys, I recently bought a 12" AB HD D2 sub that im planning to install in a 07 Acura TL.

I've been reading around for the last couple of days but I can't seem to find any concrete suggestions for a single sub application and the AB website is not very helpful. I plan on feeding the sub 2000- 2500w for music, I'm thinking roughly 3.0 cubes after displacement, tuned to 32-33 hz with a 3" port. Anyone ideas? too big for a single 12"?

Any help is greatly appreciated

2.5cu after displacements.

Does 3" port mean 3" aero? No way, not enough port. If you meant 3" wide; maybe. Depends on square area. On that sub Id think around 16 or 17^2

I meant slot port. Is it common to run anything wider than 3" for a single 12" for daily? I don't mind increasing the port size if that will yield the best output.

Depends on square area. If port is only 12.5" tall (14" box height) thats 37.5 total inches. For a 2.5cu box thats 15^2 . You may need less or more depending on sub. Ive heard of people running DDs at 20^2, which would be 50 total inches on a 2.5cu box

Go with 2-2.25 net on that power. 37 sqin port is solid. If you need a design hmu.
