for low bass 32Hz is fine just give it planty of port area, 3cf for a single 12" is pretty big

sounds good, but you can't really tell without testing, that's the problem with the ported boxes, similar subs might react completely different to enclosure volume, port size and frequency, but it's allot of fun.

Tune that things up some bro, that freq is way too low and the woofer will have some issues on subsonic bass and you cant control the cone enough down there, Tune it to about 42-45 htz, trust me Ive done that on a larger box a long time ago and had major issues with subs, blowing them left and right, changed the port and solved the problem,
