well i suppose you could since the clamshell is about half the size of a normal box. I would post your usable measurements so's we can see exactly how much your working with.

50 inches wide

37 inches tall

50 inches depth

think i would have a difference between 4 15s and 6 15s

what exactly are you attempting to accomplish here? i'm ASSUMING just fuggin loudness..correct? If so, i would just slap 4 15"s in about a 40 cube box with a big nasty port in it and wang.

well...i don't compete so maybe there are some folks on here that can help with that. But i would think that a big nasty ported box with a traditional alignment would be better suited for that then a clamshell. In a clamshell, the only real thing you gain is space, not performance. You will get the same freq. response from 2 subs in a clamshell as you would from a single sub in a larger properly designed box. Also you lose about 3dbs of efficiency in a isobaric alignment compared to a single sub in a larger airspace. Also you effectively must double the amplifier power in the clam to get the same output
