The bk12 is a dog. Don't waste your money. You will torment yourself with it for 6 months and then sell them on ebay. Save yourself some time and money and buy someone else's off ebay if you really don't believe me. Go over to diy audio forum. Those guys know rear loaded full range much better then here. They will tell you the same. Don't buy a SE amp. Build your own. Start with upgrading your pp amp. It will do you fine with some decent upgrade parts. And you will learn about amps while you do it. And get great satisfaction in doing so.
A good safe start would be a Bib cab look it up. Toms horns are great but there 10 times more complex then the bk12. They are state of the art in rear loaded and the bk are start of a fart. And his fostexs are hiend. The cheap ones are cruel devices. Your better off with a well chosen set of vintage drivers and there is better new alternatives to the budget fostexs many! the new seas driver come to mind. Lacao is another. They make a diatone copy now too. Which can sing close up with a tweeter in a refex cab.
And vintage what about a pair of these in open baffle
http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemnext&item=180788673009.html 98db! check out dht robs evaluation. Google him. And with open baffle you can have loads of fun swaping out a new set of toys off ebay each week!
