Firstly, you are going to get different sound from 2 15's then 3 10's even if they are the identical sub, just different size. You need to specify how you want your bass to sound (you want more SQ or more SPL?),
*** just re-read, you seem to want more SPL so I'd recommend a ported box with 2 12's or 15's, but if you have the power, you might want to look for a better sub than Audiobahns.****
It might help to list what the rest of your system is going to be as well.
Which model of JL's are those. There is a big difference from a 10w0 to a 10w3 v2.
You will get more usefull information if you post in the Car Audio section of the forums.
(JL has typically been a higher rated sub than audiobahn and has always had a presence among IASCA champions for years.) But that is an opinion on the brand, not the model.
Hope you can make sense of my half awake, poorly structured, drivel.
Welcome and good luck in your decision. -

LOL I just noticed that.
Be careful who you trust with a home-built enclosure. Overall volume is very specific to each sub and affects the sound. Thing needs to be properly sealed as well -
what subs u talkin bout whe u say
Did Ray Charles drill the mounting holes for the drivers?
and what is you want more SQ or more SPL?),
i just want best over all sound this is my first step into getting a system and i just want to bump nice
thank you all for your input. -

He was referring to the right sub on the JL Audios. It is CROOKED!!
JL Audio are MILES ahead of Audiobahn in both SPL and SQ. Go for the JL's.TNRabbit

They look like the 10wO's to me.I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

SPL = Sound pressure level ***I THINK***
It is basically how loud you want the bass to be
SQ = Sound Quality, basically self-explanitory -
sinnce the right sub is crooked is that gonna effects its sound or performance. Ill probably just end up going with the 3 10"s. Sound good?

Won't affect the sound; just a sign of crappy workmanship...take a good look at the rest of it, particularly the connections inside.TNRabbit

will a mono amp work with all 3 of those subs?
-
sure, as long as you wire them up correctly

That depends on what what resistance the woofers are and what the amp will take. Assuming that these are 8 ohms each (which they SHOULD be for a triple setup), wired in parallel this will net you a resistance of 2.33 ohms (resistance divided by # of speakers).TNRabbit
