How much power did you give the 12"? You could probably have gotten away with a 1.5ft^3 box and it would have sounded better I've also found type r's like around 35hz tuning. I've found with a slightly smaller box you're able to throw an extra 200-300rms to a ATR which is how it works with most subwoofers the reason I ask is if you had been underpowering the subwoofer or given it rated a 2ft^3 box would be perfect I usually don't go over 1.5-1.75 per 12" in almost any situation.
Yeah I just had someone at caraudio.com make it for me and he's made a ton of enclosures so I just told him to go with what he feels is best. I don't have the tools or the space to make them myself.
It may not be a perfect match but its definitely good enoough.
