Care to share specs of the diffrent subs? I saw that you havn't finnished it yet, but have you powered them up? If so, how does it sound with the three diffrent shaped/Brand subs?

They were GOING to be overlaped, or a little farther apart so I could make a border around them, till I realised one little important detail... It wouldn't fit in my trunk between the wheel wells ith that design.. oops!!!
As for specs.. they are all 10" subs.
The triangle one is a bazooka, the round one is a sony explod, and the sqare one is an Alpha Sound sub.. (no, I wasn't going to spend 250.00 on a kicker solobaric square sub.. so off to e-bay I went.. lol)
As for the power, I probably did that wrong.. lol
I was fortunate to start off with a head unit that has 3 preamp outputs, so I wired one set to the Bass output and the other set to the regular channel output..
The amp is a 1200W AKAI amp. It is a four channel amp, and I have one sub on each channel, with one channel left over. I may eventually try to wire the whole system into the Bass preamp output control on the head unit because as of now, I have to crank the volume to get any bass, and that offers chance to blow my other speakers (knock on wood.. lol)
The reason I want to redo the wiring is that you would think since I do have 3 subs that I would get very deep amount, or a lot of bass... but it is just not working out that way unfortunately..
The problem I had with this system if you remember from my original post, was that one sub is 400W, one is 600W, and the other is 800W. (Umm.. yeah...)
So.. in other words.. I have no idea how much power is truely going thru each sub because of the whole different Wattage thing...
As for the sound, it is ok till I hit an extremely low bass note and then it kicks out on me (I was told I need a cap
)
As for the speakers working together, they seem to work together very nicely, except for the fact that they are all in one enclosed area, and obviously the frequency bands are different, so when I crank it, one of the subs rattles.. (or maybe they all rattle.. lol)
What I really want to do, now that I have a bit of experience with speaker box building is to dissasemble the whole box, and make the same overall shaped box, but make each sub have it's own chamber.. right now, I have all 3 subs in one chamber - an open box inside, but I did add like 3 huge bags of poly-fill stuffing to slow down the bass waves. (I don't know.. it seemed to help a bit lol)
If you have any suggestions, I'm open for them and also some comments..
