Help with enclosure design for type X

[brassknucklez 10+ year member]

I have two ALPINE SWX-1242D subs. I need suggestions for building an enclosure for them. I wondered if anyone could help who may already own these subs. The amp is a SoundStream Class D 2000watt RMS amp that puts out its power at 1ohm. Anyone who already has these subs? Or anyone who has built enclosures for these have any ideas?

build the rec. box from alpine! no?

I wish, but alpine doesn't really have anything speciffic for a ported enclosure for this sub. Just really generic stuff. I wondered if anyone else who has Type X's has built enclosures for them.

I built a box for my boys 10" type x 1.50 cu tuned to 38hz and that thing drops better then some 12's ive heard. So 2cu tuned to around 36 hz should do a 12" x just fine
