well to be a jack a**, 12" is 12"... but I'm not.. The diameter is different for every sub. it can range from 11 to 12.5 inches. it also depends if you want the sub recessed in the box and then you would consider the rubber surround if it is on the sub also.

It depends on the diameter of the basket. On my 15, I cut out an approximate 13 inch hole.. for my friends it was about 12.75 inch..

Also, you should shop around and at least pick out a sub and get the specs for the box you are going to build for it. If you build a box that's not within spec's of the sub, it'll not sound as good as it should/could. Different subs = different box specs

yes dont build a box till you know what sub your buying, the best sub in the world in the wrong sized box will sound horrible. decide on the sub, then check their website to find the mounting hole diameter.

Yep I agree also, but to add on to that certain subs sound better in certain kinds of boxes. IE ported, sealed or Band Pass, but I am assuming you already realized that.
