because theres more to the maths than just a 12" hole? ie the frequency response will be entirely different, now of all speakers scoops are what i know least about, and 12" scoops are doable [if the right trade offs are made then a 12" scoop can even drop as deep as an 18"] but they need to be designed with the driver in mind,
just a thought,
i personaly think 12" scoops are very doable.....
me so horny me love you long throw
horn loaded for her pleasure

Just go for a Micro Scooper 15 or 18 inch mini scoop.  Plans for both have been posted a million times over, this is getting boring.

So SEARCH.

12 inch scoop won't go deep enough.

Unsurprising really you were warned!

Note that mykey has a 12" scoop but its a double 12" which is roughly equivalent to an 18"

The size of the cab is going to make a big difference.

If you had 6 or 8 of those 12" scoops you might stand a chance, with the right driver of course
