What are you trying to achieve here? Do you know about proper enclosure design and construction, or are you consulting somebody who does? If you talk to a builder, you're going to get quite a bit of help from them.

Assuming you're just trying to get loud, 3 cubic feet per subwoofer meets Kicker's minimum ported requirement, so you'll be able to run them given that you'll also be able to account for bracing, port volume, and the subwoofer itself. 2 is almost always going to be louder than 1 when you're running the same driver. How much power will you be putting to these?

As much as we all want to say this, we can't just say 'throw away your solo-barics and buy SUNDOWNNZ' to every person coming through the forum. While it's nice to always recommend better gear to new members, sometimes you've just gotta let them run what they have and help them make the best of it.

3' each is not near enough space for them ported.

Orion cca are overpriced and 90% of how a sub does on the lows is in the box build
