For a musical enclosure, for most 12-inch round subwoofers,(1.75 to 2.25cu. Ft. Net per12), tuned @ 30Hz to 34Hz, is good. But im sure that enclosure being that big= 3.25cu. Ft. Net per 12, tuned @ 44Hz, is Massive Audios SPL enclosure specs.? I have owned a Massive Audio amp before, wired @ 1/2 ohm, it would get hot, and start limiting power, after only 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot it was that day. If i wired the amp @ 1 ohm, it was fine, and didnt limit power, but it wasnt loud enough then, so i sold it.

I had 4 runs of O.F.C, powers and grounds, ran all the way from the front to the back. The Massive Audio amp i had, was the D16,000.1= a.k.a.= "The Dragon", it did not have enough heatsink to keep it cool enough internally, while trying to make rated power= 8k r.m.s. @ 1/2 ohm. The best i clamped out of it was 6k, rising to 3/4 of an ohm, was the lowest imp. I could find. This Massive amp only had good enough cooling to support half of its power. It was the only quality amp i have used, that did this. My electrical was able to support 11k as clamped, on the term lab power probes, on different, more powerfull amplifiers, @ a later date.

plenty of experience with this sub. after running dats through em the mfg specs are way off. they do have a high fs if not broken in but i was able to get a fs of 36 after thorough break in. They like smaller enclosures with larger deeper vents with a 32-34hz tune
