ok guys here is my set up i have a hifonics Brutus BXi-1606D that's supposed to be 1600 rms at 1ohm but i figure its about 1200-1300 rms ,for my subs i have 2 12 inch pioneer premier TS-W1207D4 4ohm dvc subs and one TS-W1207D2 sub(same sub just dual 2ohm instead of 4)now i have 2 enclosers one sealed for 3 12s and a vented one for 2 12s so what will be louder 3 12s sealed at 1200 rms(4ohm+4ohm+2ohm=1ohm)or 2 12s vented at 800 rms(4ohm wired down to 2ohm+2ohm=1ohm).

do you have all 3 of those subs hooked up to the same amp?

I would honestly probably just run the two woofers ported and sell the one D2 woofer you have.

yes they will be but remember 2 of them are dvc 4ohm and one is a dvc 2ohm

You can NOT hook all three of those subs to one amp, they won't see the same power. Sell the DV2 and just run the other two.

wouldnt that mess with your power; if im right; which im usually not; you would have uneven power to the subs; might make the d2 go bang

Can't mix sub voice coil impedances... The subs won't see the same power.

As suggested, stick with the 2 D4's, run them at 1 ohm, and sell the D2.
