I will say that's a little too small for a 12 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif , but I have my 10s on that same size sealed (a 'lil bigger than recommended) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif .........but sounds good enough to me.

JL woofers (except the w7) in my experience performed great in really small enclosures ( why they do so well in the stealth boxes)

I did a enclosure for a W6 that sat in the side of a trunk in an IS350. was way small. probably just under 1 cube. with heavy fill, and it still hammered out the lows pretty well.

the hummer H2 stealth box houses a W6 in a enclosure thats quite small.

try and shoot for .90+ with fill and you would be ok.

I noticed that you use "fill" plenty of times. How much do you add per c.f.? And does the fill helps break standing waves?
