[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 6823578, member: 560148"] Since your burping I'd do the 12's. You get the most port area that way. Ultimately, the reason walls do so well at least partially and why cone area isn't as important is because when your playing near tuning a wall gives you alot of room for airspace which leads to a effecient alignment in terms of getting the cones to move. Also, you have a very large port area that ends up moving far more air than the woofers themselves near tuning. Bigger ports compress less so your getting a better chance at higher numbers. Also, I would assume 4 12's needs less airspace than 3 15's, so again all things equal your going to be more effecient this way, especially if your realy only concerned about a burp on one tone.
