This one looks pretty promising: https://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/specs/294-2098--celestion-ftx1225-spec-sheet.pdf
I have 6” around the driver on all sides. The baffle width is not a consistent shape.
Let me know if that makes sense.
Baffle shape, width and overall size, under certain circumstances, can have a major effect on the final performance of the drivers used, especially the main woofer(s) and if a three (or more) way system, the mid woofer. I asked about the baffle size (dimensions) to learn the expected F= and F peak frequencies your baffle will produce. If very narrow these two values are higher, and if wider, lower.
Using the S. Linkwitz spreadsheet, a nominal 12" diameter driver on your 24" wide baffle would have an F= somewhere in the mid 90 Hz area. F peak, which can be difficult to exactly to predict, will be in the 275-350 Hz area.
Your baffle width is wide enough to support pretty much any 12" driver, regardless of it's Qts. If you baffle width was say only 14" (-10") a high Qts driver would be a better choice in most cases. A high resonance, low Qts driver would roll off much quicker. Hope the above make sense.

Here is the S. Linkwitz page that contains the spread sheet.

Scroll down to section A1. Look for the link in blue: SPL Max1.xls Click on the link and you can validate various drivers vs. baffle dimensions.
Also, a LOT of great info at this location. May seem a bit much, but SO much good info. Good luck!
