I purchased a used box for 3 12's made of 3/4 mdf and it has 3 individual chambers. The box measures 45 15/16 wide 17 5/8 tall 17 5/8 deep. Using a calculator it seems to measure around 2.3 cubic ft of air space. I was considering cutting 3 holes in the top and inverting the top subs and reverse phase and run them in a push pull configuration. I was going to run 6 kicker comp subs 8 ohm with a 1000 watt 1 ohm stable amp.
In your opinion will that be enough airspace to accomplish this?
I'm not going for loudest or hardest hitting but more for a visual appearance and a great sounding set up.
I know people will have there opinion and I'm sure going another route will perform better but this is the route I want to go.
Thanks for all your helpful answers in advance.
If it's what you want to try then go for it. Will it sound great? Probably not, but if what you're after is visual impact, when who cares how it sounds?

Support the12volt.comWith a compound push-pull setup, it looks like your calculated 2.3 cu. ft. would be too big. The Kicker website says the Comp 12's have a recommended maximum enclosure volume of 3.5 cu. ft. (and a minimum of 1.25)
A compound push-pull design should use one half of the enclosure volume of a single driver in a sealed enclosure. That would indicate a max of 1.75 cu. ft. enclosure for your Kicker Comp 12's in the compound push-pull application.
