12 Inch Skar
Skar 1000.1D
Box dimensions.
37"L x 14"W x 16.6"H
4.06Cubic Feet
Box is tuned @27Hz

1000 watts is alot of power for only 2 12s. That might be your issue. I have 2 12s and im only using a 750 watt amp

That depends on the sub.

There are 12s out that are available for relatively cheap that can handle over 3k.
Size and cone area doesn't play as big of a role in power handling as people think.
