[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8703968, member: 679555"] You have to think about it in terms of resonance with subwoofers. 10-100 is a pretty wide range, so you're going to get pretty bad quality and volume as you go up if you tune it low enough to actually hear notes in that bottom range (well, not 10 but you'd feel it if tuned low enough). The lowest bass notes are where you need power since your ears aren't as good at hearing that range. If you truly want the entire base range to be loud and clean then you may have to separate it into two different enclosures. Sealed would get you way higher range than that but it starts to fall apart without tons of power just as the ported or 6th order is picking up steam depending on how it's tuned. Maybe I should say that the way you make 2 12's hit every note between 10 and 100 plus do it loud is to separate the chambers and have two different types of enclosures, the low tuning to the back and the high tuning to the front. With 3kw you'll be able to bend the rules a little bit with a sealed flat response getting quite low, but you'll probably be disappointed with the low end if you don't have at least one resonant peak down there near the inaudible range.
