I purchased a used box for 3 12's made of 3/4 mdf and it has 3 individual chambers. The box measures 45 15/16 wide 17 5/8 tall 17 5/8 deep. Using a calculator it seems to measure around 2.3 cubic ft of air space. I was considering cutting 3 holes in the top and inverting the top subs and reverse phase and run them in a push pull configuration. I was going to run 6 kicker comp subs 8 ohm with a 1000 watt 1 ohm stable amp.

In your opinion will that be enough airspace to accomplish this?

I'm not going for loudest or hardest hitting but more for a visual appearance and a great sounding set up.

I know people will have there opinion and I'm sure going another route will perform better but this is the route I want to go.

Thanks for all your helpful answers in advance.

IMO, there's no need. If you want to go for it, you can. It'd be an interesting set up and would turn heads, but reducing the airspace to each sub would be more detrimental than any potential gain by running a push pull setup. Airspace plays a huge factor into a subs sound, you'll lose efficiency and low end (more than likely).

You don't have to scrap the idea, but that box isn't suitable for 6 12"s. If you built a different box, it might be worth a try.

From what I've read there is no airspace loss as they share the same air space at different times
