I have tried both a 2.5 and 3.25cuft slot ported enclosure from their site. So far the 3.25 is louder by 2.5db's.

I run my 12"L7 off of a RF1000BD. 1398wrms @ 2ohms.

Best person to talk to about enclosures for Solobarics is Rob V.O. (aka LoudBrownKickerColt). He is a very busy man but he may be able to help you out if your patient enough.

Do try the enclosures from the site but make some modifications to the interior of the box for best results.
