    Alright for one your going to need a really nice amp to run all three with good quality if your not looking for boom then i suggest a sealed box, the ported box will give you more boom but the sealed is supposed to give you better response. Also put some fiber filling in the sealed box it tricks the subs into thinking the box is bigger than what it is. you can face the subs anyway youd like, i like them faceing away. you dont have to divide the subs but it is better to do that, you will get alil more out of them.

    If you are not going for "boom" then go for a sealed enclosure. Are you talking about a bandpass enclosure when you are talking about putting your subs "in" the enclosure. I would not suggest that, especially if you are looking for clarity.

    Why did you get the L7s if you are looking for clarity. Kicker is not known for their clarity but rather for their boom.
