can anyone give me ideas on box size before or after displacement, would like to tune box between 40-45 hz

any thing over tuned over 35 hertz for these subs are a bad idea just saying but i have two single boxes made and each box is .5 cubes after displacement bt the boxes are 12" wide 12" deep and 16" with a 12" wide port 2" high and the port is wrapped around the whole box i don't remember the exact mesurments bt its tuned at 32 hertz
