June 1, 200916 yr Whew I'm tired after reading that one long sentence.If that 16 cubic feet is after port and sub displacement, you're tuned to..............wait for it............46 hz. That's your problem.You need to build a new box. Or at least lengthen the ports to 8". That would lower your tune to around 35 hz and make it a bit more listenable. But it would be hard for me to believe that you don't have port noise with only 75 sq. inches of port for those eight 12s. You may have to redesign a new box to get more port area if you experience noise.
