[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8727653, member: 614752"] 10-14 square inches is certainly not a significant difference. That said, I'd mock up the area you have for a baffle and cut out some 12 and 15" rounds of cardboard or something and just start playing around with placement and see which will be physically easier to put together in an orientation you like that allows whatever port options you're after. If I ever get good weather and free time to coincide I'm really itching to rebuild mine to try to squeeze in 8 12s but I haven't even got as far as to see if I can do it and have adequate port area. I know I can do 6 easily but I don't think 50% more power handling is quite worth the effort it'll take to do the carpentry plus the cost of rebuilding that many subs, especially since I don't think I have more than a couple 12" frames here.
