Help me with an alpine type r dilema please

[boomstick 10+ year member]

hi im sorta new to this web site and i have come to a cross road and need advice. i currently have 2 12" 2ohm alpine type r and 1 15" in a custom box in a jeep Cherokee. its an ok setup and they r set at different waves so not 2 cancel out, however i am now getting a mitsubishi eclipse 2nd gen (1998) and i don't know weather 2 get rid if the 12s and get a couple more 15s or get rid of the 15 and get a couple more 12s. i am goin for dbs obviously but also sound quality. i plan to up the door speakers and tweeters regardless but i dont know which way to go or which would sound clearer, louder, and overall better. if anyone could give me some advice that would be great. thanks

id add a couple tens to the mix to hit all the waves, but really id stick with all the same size subs.. go with 4 12s if u got the room.

or sell it all and get 2 12 or 15 DD, AQ , Hifonics, or something that will get loud enough with less space. you aint fitting 4 12's in that car properly lolz

i was thinking about goin with 6 12s cause im takin out the back seat also. and is it better 2 do subs up and ports back or the other way

 

[boomstick 10+ year member]

please....6 12's in an eclipse....max i would do 3...i have seen eclipses with subs up port back and they get loud...6 subs in that small of a car would be overkill imo

Wall?

6 12's will never fit in that car unless you do all sealed in small boxes.

idk about a wall in it i was thinking a straight box but idk what 2 do about ports

if i build a custom box with interior dividers it should fit. keep in mind im talkin from front seats back. im going 2 remove the back seat
