      This guy should be able to give you some ideas. I'm going with the Millhouse box but I'm making it myself for my JL 12-W6 sub.

        oh and I missed your second post..... I would say 3 12's is WAY too much!!! Good god man.... just the amps alone are going to cost a fortune. I highly HIGHLY reccommend 3 high quality 10's firing straight up above your gas tank if you want to run that much bass. Get your enclosure size right and a good sub/amp combo and you'll push more (and cleaner) bass out of the 3 10's set up then your 12's just because there's no room unless you pull your back seat or do what this guy did in the link i just posted. even he says in his webpage that his single 12 put out more bass then his current triple 12 set up

          I'm doing one right now for a 12W3. Can't wait till it's finished so I can post pics.

            If you want them all in one box and still want to retain the T-top storage, pretty much your only option is to get a custom box to fit on the hump behind the rear seat. Or, if you don't mind giving up your back seat, you can put it down and put pretty much any box you want there. I've only got two 12's, each in a 12inch stealthbox and they sound damn sweet now that they are both in phase. Unless you really need an insane amount of bass 2 would be enough so long as you can run about 600-1000watts each to them.

            You can get the first rear hump box from megabass i'm sure and you can get a box for the back seat pretty much anywhere. Don't bother trying to find 12inch stealthboxes anywhere. If you go that route they will have to be custom made.

                There's a couple well boxes I made posted in this thread. They do take up t-top space, but will give you an idea of what I can do and the quality of my work.

                    Have seen similar setups, but I'd be the most confident w/ the Q-formQ Custom for Camaro/Firebird

                      I live in South Austin. Manchaca & Stassney area. If you're up North and don't know where those streets are i'm about 3.5 miles from Barton Creek Mall.

                        Yeah, here's what the Q-logic looks like under that plastic part compared to my boxes.

                          I'm in North Austin, I work at the MCI on I-35 and Rundberg, not sure how close that is to you.

                            I applied there two years ago. Didn't get it because they are stupid. I applied for inbound calls but when they took me back to talk to a department head that department was outbound sales. I work in Westlake Hills now at night.

                            Anyway, that's probably right around 20 miles from my house. If you've ever been far south on I-35 where they are doing all the construction at Ben White, i'm about 3.5 miles from there too.

                            Where do you live? I know just about every part of Austin.
