Hey guys. I'm new here, but have been an audio lover for quite some time. Recently, I ran my homemade speakers outdoors at a wedding, and was impressed by their ability to shine in open air. They're high efficiency, low wattage Audio Nirvana Super 12 ferrite drivers, in massive boxes (2'W x 2'D x 4'H, with three 6-1/8 ports on the front baffle). They hit surprisingly low, but since they're FR drivers, I'd like to supplement them with a sub or two, so I don't take away from the MR and HF due to LF distortion. I found that they project very far, so I'd like to maybe design a TL box with two front-firing subs. It would look nice if I had both towers left and right, and the T-line horizontally between them. The way I designed my system was more for classical music, jazz, classic rock, and rock. When getting song requests at weddings, I have to accommodate for rap, R&B, and bass-heavy music. Any input would be appreciated. I'll include the specs of the drivers I have below (keep in mind the box they're in - it makes them come alive more than the specs show).

A big TL with this Vas and two drivers in it. Tune it to 32hz or so in a BIG qw pipe.? Xmax is 1mm.
Hmm, open air you'll ideally need a system 6 dB more efficient [or 4x more power rated] to match them, so assuming your drivers are actually ~95.7 dB/w/m down low, then it's theoretically ~98.7 dB/W/m [stereo] + 6 dB = 104 dB/W/m, i.e. either a huge compression horn or 'X' number of woofers with what size/type/how many depending on their mean power handling capability, how heavy they can be.
So........ XO point, weight limit/box, average, peak SPL @ 'X' distance, etc.?
