3/8 will not hold up to that sub. 3/4-1"MDF would be alot wiser choice.
Port location is not a major concen, but when you start getting ports with quite a bit of length that you will have to wrap around 2 walls, it can come into play.
Length X Height X width = Sq IN
SQ IN/1728 = Cu ft.
Make sure to take into account your port and sub displacments as they can throw off box paremetes by .5cuft or more on a box this size

this is what i came up with 26 W 16 H 28 D 3/4 thickness i got about 5.5 cubic ft so after i put the sub woofer in there and the braces i should only have about 5 cubic ft to work with for the sub if that's what you were saying. by the way i hear the bigger the box the better is this true or should i just go with the 3 cubic ft tuner box.

The solo X 12" with the corect amount of power will need/want 4cu ft + to sound right, anything under that and they dont have the best freq range
