My brother is a cabinet maker, He has two T18's in my shed and two more in cutouts. T18's are not for gigging bass players or small club's but a T12 is just the box to handle big and small. How do I get the right numbers for a T12 because the Cubo12 is a bandpass box.
I'm not sure - I have a hornresp sim for Cubo 15 and not sure if a 0.8 scale Cubo15 = a Cubo12 (?) Cubo's creator sometimes comes to these forums and could give good advice. What 12" do you intend to use?
It might be easier overall to use two cabinets
I looked at the Cubo 12 and it is a bandpass box and that's not good for bass guitar.
Ran 4 MTL1 (double T18) in my heyday and was a nice box for the day but not so much these days. The popular TH designs here walk all over them now. I suggest asking your bro to help build one and compare. I suggest a Keystone.
As a bass player, I use an SVT and fridge rig so I am pretty set in my ways in terms for tone. Your driver is known for working in the design, so I say go and make some sawdust and have fun.
I've had four back surgeries and I can tell you that two 810 cabs and something that will go down to two ohms to run them, is the holy grail of bass guitar.
The cubo12 does not have a good shot at the port like a T18 does. This is what gives the T18 highs, mids, and lows. The center of the cone is aimed at the port. I think I'm gonna have to take a shot in the dark on this one. A narrow T18 style box fitted for a 12 inch driver.
Keystone?
Can you give me a link on Keystone?

fwiw I think a 2/3 scale T18 looks pretty good when 2 cabinets are run
just ~60 liters airspace per box
Thank You, Freddi! I will test with the Dayton pa310 12"
I hear he has an e-mail address but he won't respond if you call him a creature
Thank You.
Keystone Sub Using 18, 15, & 12 Inch Speakers
As the designer of the Keystone sub, I can say that it would not be my first choice as a bass guitar speaker unless using it below something that sounds good above 200Hz or so.
Go on Partsexpress.com and look under ProAudio, they list all the speaker specs., and they will even give tech info on box size and porting. I like parts express.

More on that: I have used 2 112 boxes outside with Dayton's pushed as far as I dare. The P.A. guy says that they sound great. Well then, Two midget T18's
should make everything twice as good.

if T18 were scaled 0.83X for a 15" it would tune much like the old JBL C40 "Harkness". The Harkness should be stronger around 150Hz but otherwise pretty similar. A little Karlson box tuned ~55Hz (say 27"H x 20"Wx 13.5"D) about 32 liters smaller than the 0.83 scaled T18 would be about as good but probably a more subdued midrange - oh maybe not as the Karlson's on is facing outwards - lol
