I'm a little late answering this and you've prob had much advice
already.  You can't just say I'm using a 12" speaker and then put it in
a generic box.  You will get the same type of garbage out of it that you
find in low end speakers like Bose.  (I shouldn't trash them too much as
they are still using one of my designs). Go to your library and look up
some books on designing speakers.  Study a lot.  experiment a lot. and
then go buy some good ones.  You can't make a really good speaker (I
mean real fidelity) for less than you can buy a pair.  If you want a set
of plans for one of the best woofers ever designed, drop me a note
E-Mail and I will send you the plans.  I sell these things for $800 a
pop and can't make them fast enough.  I'm going to just give out the
plans from now on.  I will tell you up front.  YOU CAN NOT CHANGE the
design or the MAKE and MODEL of driver, or it willl never work.
