i just want to know what size box i should build for my fi ssd 12".

fi's website says: "Ported box: 1.8-2.5 cuft @ 33Hz"

i know what the cuft is but can someone explain what the hertz mean?

in your opinion, is 2.6 cuft enough for 12" 1000 watt sub?

Depends on the sub itself and what kind of boxes it works best in. 2.6ft^3 after sub and port displacement is on the large side for a normal 12" sub. 2-2.25ft^3 is pretty normal. If I had a 12" SSD I'd put it in 2ft^3 at 30-32hz.

Can someone just hook this guy up with a box cut sheet for what he needs. May it serve as his christmas present.

sorry, i just dont understand what the hz is for.

if you have a 2.8 cuft box, what difference does it make if its 30hz, 32 hz, or 40 hz?

It changes at what point the port starts radiating and adding loudness. Tune lower and you have better low end extensions because the port helps out with the low frequencies. Tune at 40hz and you'll have a lot of output above 40hz, but loudness will suffer below the tuning frequency. Below the tuning frequency you have a 24db per octave slope at which the volume drops off.

do you tune a box by cuft, size of port etc?

man , just use the calculator. it gives you all the information and even gives you a cut list.
