3 12" Skar EVLs or 2 15" Skar VXf?

[Flip792]

Hi, I'm trying to decide what to buy. This will be going in my daily driver. A Ford crown vic. I listen to all kinds of music (rap, hip hop, classic rock, metal, rock, etc...) Either way I'm using a Skar RP 4500.1 amp. It's between 3 dual 2 ohm Skar 12" EVL or 2 dual 4 ohm Skar 15" VXF. I'm going to be using the recommended ported box specs Skar gives. For the 12s it's 2 ft³ at 32hz. For the 15s it's 3.25 ft³ at 32 hz. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Wow! That escalated quickly. Why so butt hurt? I mean, do you have some recommendations or are you just here to cry?

It's not even close, VXF. I just modeled those boxes and EVL box is ridiculous. I've never seen such a bad graph for a manufacturer recommended box. To get the same curve as putting those EVL's in a 6 ft cu box you would need to put the VXF's in a 25 cu ft box. If you want a flat response the VXF box is almost spot on, I'd go a little bigger but the EVL's belong in a 3 cu ft box for a flat response and of course the 2 VXF are going to be twice as loud if the spl graph curves are evenly shaped. And yes I'm talking about ported box @ 32hz for both
