refering to braden's design... maybe perhaps swap the amps with the 12" and mount em reversed...
or just reverse the 15" just to mix it up a little

I havent heard many 'successful' stereos mixing 12" and 15" subs.... pop over to www.caraudioaustralia.com and do some searches perhaps for suggestions. I have been a member there for years and its been a neverending source of info and inspiration for a few stereo cars i have built.
Bradens idea looks the goods but with a third matching 12". I think Sundeep is in the process of doing something nice so check those pics out.

Get rid of the 15", and keep pretty much the same layout as you have now.. ie one amp, one sub each side. At least that way you will still be able to use your boot. Just get a couple of sub grills. Im hopeing to do a similar thing with my el when I get round to it. Another idea, if you do a search (going back about 2 years now lol) you will see what I did to my NA lane (just done ask me to find pics atm).

LOL.. Actually the plan is for 16 x 12" subs.. .. Got a few other things to do first though...

With regard to your setup NC_LANE have you tested out how the 12's sound cos from the pics it looks like you are running them sealed plus they look a little low on the old litreage scale.. How does the whole setup sound??

Cheers,
Nik

They dont sound bad. It sounds better than when I had the Single 15". Get getter quality bass from what i can feel. The 15" had trouble with quick base and now with the 12" those appear to come out better.

If you want the sound for quality keep just the 2 12" but if ur like me and want maximum bass 2 15" will do it.... and try and keep all components the same brand. mainly with subs or speaker so ther putting out the same sound.
