I would not go with 3 12s... Go with 1 15"... I am pretty sure that there isnt enough room for 3 12s in a 240, at least not in terms of cubic feet of air for the woofers.. I have a single 15 in a big box and I am really really happy with how it sounds.. Plus it looks really nice..

Of course, 3 12s might get a little bit more rumble than a single 15, but I have a friend who has 6 12's in his Explorer and while it hits harder and has more BASS, it also sounds like ass.. If you get a good 15, you will have good bass as well as good sound quality.. Just make sure you have good clean power running to it and that the box is the right size..

My setup is:

empeg mp3 player > altec lansing ALC-10 crossover > front: alpine 5 1/4 seperates, tweeters mounted on door > rear: altec lansing 6x9s (carbon fiber woofer cones! woooo hoo) mounted on rear hatch shelf > sub: hifonics atlas 15.. all powered by 3 linear power amps running a total of 1000 watts give or take..

I havent heard a car stereo that sounds better than mine.. I'm not bragging, I haven't heard a lot of car stereos, and that kind of thing is a totally personal preference, but I think that I have a really balanced system that sounds great and is perfect for me..

if i spent enouh time i could fit 6 12" in the rear of a 240 fiberglass box   with the rear seat in there
but i would never do it
and i say 2 12's is the best bet for a good clean sound through all levels of bass
