First off..i know you said intelligent minds, i have half that... a mind... hope that is ok...
I have built a box for a 12" stroker, you will need a box that has an internal volume of 3.5 cu.ft, and a port tuned to 55hz, yes...that is high, these speakers play at higher notes. So in a 3.5 cu.ft box, you will need a port that is 14x6x10. Don't use round tube style ports, this driver moves alot of air. The box should be built out of 1" MDF and braced. If you really want to get technical, you can line the box with fiberglass.
Also, when mounting this woofer, use t-nuts, reg screws will just rip out. And yes, make sure your cut-out is as precise as possible.
