what's with the "...." post?
are you really that impatient after only 20 minutes?? lol
for 4 twelves you're talking 8cu ft of box volume (more actually).
I'd suggest considering two 18" subs instead, and using good ones, like two RE SX18 subs. They're about $309 each, so for $620 you're good to go. You'd spend at least that for four 12" subs, and more to amplify all of them well, whereas for two SX18 subs, you can feed them anywhere from 500-1500 watts RMS each and get outstanding results with a vented enclosure.
RE also makes good components, if you want to go with a matched system for speakers. I'd use coaxials in back and separates in front, if it were me, then add a good 4 channel amp at around 75x4 @ 4 ohms to drive them. cross over components at about 100Hz, 12dB slope, and the subs at 50 to 60Hz, 18dB slope.
you'll get great results and teeth-jarring bass
