use all 3 subs but only put power to the 18 and use the 12s as passive radiators

I have a 02 Impala and ran a LMS Ultra 18" in 5 cubes, sub up port to pass side. I have about 60 sqft of damp pro in my trunk though, you need to when you have a sub bangin straight at your trunk lid.

Had an 18 BL in the trunk of an 01 impala.

Sub up slot port up.

Sounded okay, sounded a lot better as a replacement for a backseat.

12"s can hit lows the same as 18"s. ITs in the enclosure.

For me it would depend on the subs being compared. Even then I would feel more comfortable splitting 4k to two 12's for reliability (4k is a lot for any sub in a daily application), sub placement (firing up in a trunk to me meh not to mention a suitable enclosure), and double the motor strength ( cone area similar but more motor).
