A big one, even the smallest, [compact] sealed box is .88 cuft gross, so for 4 drivers you need 3.52 cuft, a sealed SQ box is 2 cuft max, so for 4 drivers that would be 8 cuft gross internal volume.
A compact vented cabinet needs 1.75 cuft, 7 cuft for 4 drivers, 3.25 cuft or 13 cuft with 4 drivers in a SQ vented box, do you need a back seat?

L7s sound best in a vented cabinet, [slot port], although I am a fan of sealed cabinets, I have never heard an L7 in a sealed box that sounded very good.

Keep in mind, you must know, that the S12L7 is a power hungry 750W sub, with 4 of them you are looking at 3000W of RMS power.

BTW, what kind of box, [volume] are the 3 in now and what amp(s) do you have driving them? 94

I'm betting nowhere near adequate enclosures or amps.

You sure you need this kind of power? What amps are you running/planning to run?

for the amp its a rockfordfosgate. i cant look at the model number because it bolted on . why does it matter what model number . also the only thing that i want to get working is my isolator so i can charge both of the batteries up. i cant figure it out.

With a model number I can get the specs of the amp, although you can run subs with an underpowered amp it is not recommended, and if you are underpowered now, adding another sub will make you very underpowered and that leads to over-diving the amp into constant clipping and that will damage the speakers VCs. 94

PS. Posted info on your isolator on your other tread.

i have put 4 l712s in a eg coupe. the way i did it was puting them in a forth order bandpass. with the speakers firing up towards the back deck. and the port through the back deck. most the box was fiberglass. used a powerbass xa3000.1 to power them
