Default 60 year old man needs sub advice

<center><img src="http://tinypic.com/jiz33b.jpg"></center><p>so i have these three JL audio subs, and the box is a piece of ****, always in the way and i can never fit anything in my trunk. so i was thinking of putting one on each side (where i guess the cd changer is supposed to be?) and getting rid of the third. will the sound be different? better or worse?

Default it depends on the impedance and how it's currently wired...

does the box come out to be a 4 ohm load? 3 ohm?

it's entirely possible that having just one or two hooked up could give a very undesirable load to the amp.

i would suggest selling the box as a whole, subs included, and getting a (different) single 10.

Default A thought...

doing something like this will give you the most room in your trunk. You can also check my picture poster for a pic of my sub install. I have a Cerwin 12 in a custom box pointed towards the rear. It just depends on what you want to fit in the trunk. Either way, I say get rid of the three and go with a single sub enclosure. I wouldn't go with two different boxes pointed towards eachother..they will drown eachother out. All you need is one good sub.
