Kicker solo x 18s or 3 dd3512s

[robertawdgsx 10+ year member]

Im trying to get away from a mid 150 to closer to a 160. So im building a crx style enclosure for either 2 solo x 18s or 3 3512s.... I need help choosing? I have plenty of power. 2 Stetsom 14k2d amps but need to decide to finish the box. If I use the kickers they will have about 6 cubes each with 125in port area each tuned to 51 hz. If i use the 3512s they will have about 4 cubes each with 80in port area each tuned to 48hz. What do you guys think? I have a ford focus hatchback. Not real concerned about the class ill be in as of right now. The best ive done was a 156 with 2 18s firing towards the front but my center console kills my spl. Thats why im trying my old favorite box. Subs up and port to the rear. Any help would be awesome//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well its pretty rough on the car already. Ive put up a 156 on my meter with the center console killing my port flow.

Well im not gonna turn the gain up that much lol. Im just trying to figure out what would work better. A few freinds tell me the dd subs even if there only the 3512s. I have them already so thats my choices kicker or dd ?

You can love them all you want but the DD 95G's are a more capable sub.

I also love the solo x 18s and in the time ive started this post ive built another box for them with a 6.5x40 long port for the ohio show next weekend. I have to 9510s that need reconed I guess i could make them 18s
