Undivided Sealed Enclosure Response With Multiple Drivers Installed...

[HsOffRoad 0]

This may sound like a stupid question, but I have yet to find someone who can give me a good answer to it:

How do multiple drivers react when installed in a single undivided sealed enclosure - with regard to (Fb/F3 etc.)?

For instance - Say you install 4 12" drivers in a single undivided 4.0 ft3 (Net) enclosure. Do the woofers react as if each driver was installed in it's own 1.0 ft3 box, as if each was installed in it's own 4.0 Ft3 box, or Somewhere in between?

If so, is there some easy formula to calculate the volume that each driver "sees" to determine box response characteristics?

Thanks,

Hans

The former. Each driver would see 1ft^3.

Basically, you can take the box volume that an individual driver would need, multiply that by the number of drivers, and that would give you the box volume for all the drivers.

Yep. If you have 2 drivers that each want 1cuft, build a 2cuft box and put them in it. Pretty straightforward and simple formula.
