Box building question...

Ok, im pretty sure ive asked this before, so sorry if i have. I searched and didnt find much.

When building a box for 2 subs (sealed), is it important for them to have separate airspace or should they share the same airspace? I realize it could be beneficial if one sub dies, the other can play just fine, but should i even bother when figuring out my plans?

Yea, i know about the box calc. I memorized what number it was too. Im just curious if i should divide the airspace or not :help:

i like to separte them if they are decent subs cause it would suck if something happened to one sub so it stopped working and then you would double your air space for the other sub and it would really reduce your power handeling and you may end up blowing the other sub. i have seen a souple people do that so i try to put a divider in on every box.

For multiple-driver enclosures, you'll get the best performance by isolating each driver in a separate chamber. This prevents variations in speaker tolerances and input power from restricting system output. It also adds to internal bracing. If feasable, I'd seperate. If you have an odd shape to your enclosure for whatever reason, as long as you don't have too many drivers or an increadable amount of power, you probably won't notice the difference.

If they are running off seperate amps, then they should be seperated.
