I would recommend either of the musical enclosures in the manual.

Looks like the musical ported box is 2.75cuft... so you could fit it.

thank you, i lost the original depliant

.
another question: i want to run that sub with a zpa 0.5, is good @ 2 ohm or i mod it cutting the 2 diodes?

Try it first... if it cuts the volume too much, then you may have to try the mod.

I ran a 12d elite on a zpa0.5 for a couple years. sounded great, though it did want some more power

You sould contact Pete at Hexibase dot com. He designed my enclosure for my two Ti Elites and it sounds amazing.

Looks good so far. Are you going to port it or go sealed?

Ya looking good! Keep us all informed. I have a TI 12 D Elite in a sealed enclosure...sounds good...not huge bass wise, so if you are going for Q...you might go Sealed. My box is braced pretty well, and is 1 3/4 " think. If i remember correctly, it weighs close to 100 Pounds...

if you got a ms-1000 i can give you my zpa's

i'm going to a ported enclosure (i like more than sealed. . .) 75 lt @ 28 hz like pg specs, i use 19mm mdf and some fiberglass .
is hard to find a spare voice coil for this sub? (not the spl, only the original)

Just as a precautionary method you may want to build the white ZPA (amp rack) up like you did the black one so that it isn't mounted directly to the box. I used to mount my amps directly to my box also but I never owned a ZPA.

i mount all zpas on rubber silentblocks (for prevent damaging by vibrations

), under the 0,3 there is another box for pxa-h701 and tld66.
is hard to explain all in english, sorry
