That's hard to answer. You don't, by any chance, have the Thiele/Small parameters for this unit? If not, it's more a matter of experiment what kinda box will work the best. For a 12" instrumental driver, I'd imagine a box between 2-3½ cu.ft. (~56-100 liters) would work - one could try tuning it to 40-50 Hz, & if it got too bass heavy & boomy, simply close the reflex openings... Then you'd have a closed box that probably wouldn't go very deep, but, as mentioned in a previous post, going deep isn't that necessary (or advantageous) even with bass guitar boxes. But why not try building a box ~2½ cu.ft. & see - only cost the wood & a little work anyway :-)
