2512 Deltalites what would you do?

If you're not looking to do any significant carpentry, Speakerhardware has at least 3 knock down kits that can use this speaker. The Simplexx, the Jack, and the Chris Cole. (I'm just saying they exist. I haven't done any research on the suitability of these designs for the 2512. I would definitely do that before purchasing. Just because they sell it doesn't mean it's good.)

You may want to consider using adjustable port tubes so you can make small adjustments to their length and move around the response curve (yes, which effects other things of importance too). Sometimes the response curve graph doesn’t result in the tone your ears were imagining. At least this is what I did with a 1-12” DeltaLight 2512 project and I was glad I was able to make adjustments after all the carpentry work was final.
 
This is what I get for the "small vented bass guitar cabinet." I built an even smaller box for my 2512, many years ago, and have been quite happy with it. The only thing I noticed is that the port length from my model doesn't match the Eminence sheet, but there's also a bit of uncertainty about port length calculations in the online literature. I see no reason not to trust any of Eminence's designs if they have the performance that you want.
