What size? How much power? Tuned to what freq? What is your goal SQ, SQL, SPL?

looking for a 12" sub, with the box tuned to *i think* 32hz, that can handle 700 watts rms. im looking for a combo of both sq and spl.

L7's are great and all, but i have an enclosure for a round subwoofer and really dont want to cut a square opening.

No budget?

Sorry I can't list the 100+ speaker available, that will work well ported. Pretty much any will be fine.

Almost any driver can be used in a ported enclosure system, however, only drivers which have a Qts value between 0.2 to 0.5 will generally give satisfactory results. If the driver has a Qts above 0.4, try using it in a sealed enclosure or single reflex bandpass system instead.
