By amplifying, does that mean it already has a pickup, or are you wondering what pickup recommendations? Is the D12 a Santa Cruz?

All else being equal, I'm a big fan of the Schatten HFN with putty install. Completely non invasive (except the end pin hole of course) and passive. I think it is the most natural sounding SBT pickup. It requires a good external preamp for sure. We play it to high volumes at our church and it can cut through with live drums and electric, so it is versatile.
