With two 12"'s you don't have to worry about being loud. If you listen to fast pace music such as DnB and Rock, you should tune the box low, to minimize group delay (Delay of kicks, usually) but if you don't listen to fast paced music often, you can tune a bit higher, and sacrifice group delay for some Db's at around tuning frequencies. The general rule is tuning around the 30's, preferably low 30's. You should try the program WinISD, you can see what port length you need and then do some work on paper to calculate the actual box size/volume.
