Why not try a ported box usin pvc ports?

The box is usually smaller since space is limited

two of the 10" in a ported enclosure should be louder than 3 in a sealed ent

i was thinking to go that way...but then ill be wasting the power of the amp..

well technically u wont we wasting the power eh
as gains will be less, resulting in more headroom, less heat etc etc

recently i had a pair of OZ audio vector 12" in recommended sealed enclosure and while it was pretty loud...too loud for me...(thats why i sell and using 1-10" now)
one pioneer in a proper ported enclosure gave it a real close run!!

but one of the disadvantages of mono-chamber is if one sub gets damaged...the other 2 will be working in a larger volume and may cause more probs

You can run it in one chamber to conserve space and volume. Its not like you not going to run it mono if you separate them anyways as I'm pretty sure you will be feeding them all off one channel. While it is true that is one is damaged the other 2 can be damaged by working in too large an enclosure, you are running 1.6 for all three subs and don't really need to be concerned about that; 2 can work just fine in there. What are the odds you gonna damage just one anyway Laughing
