im trying to stay with an enclosure that is 3cf or less and trying to decide whats better, 2 12s sealed with 3000watts (buy a new sundown 3000 amp) or 1 12 ported with 1500 watts (keep my mtx 1501d)? if the sealed subs would be louder, how much louder? last option is 2 10s ported. looking for LSQ, basically the loudest set up i can get with the space available. appreciate the help!

q's are fi sq woofer but still put out more then enough bass, if you looking for spl go with ported or sq go with sealed

im considering the bl as well. i know ported will have the best spl, but i have limited room. so its either 1 12 ported or 2 12 sealed with more power. im trying to see what would be louder in the amound of space that i have. with sealed i can run 1500watts to each but with one ported i can only run at most 1500 watts unless its 2 10s ported then i can probably do 1500watts to each. final option can be a sealed 15.
