Sealed box, Common or separate chambers?

Recommended Posts

I always wondered about this too, but after reading this thread, I'm still confused lol.

Does it matter? How does having a seperate chamber differ from a shared chamber? Anyone really know?

Separate chambers and or common chambers with dividers, are good if running a stereo signal. i.e. a 2 channel amp with left channel to a sub and right channel to the other. Cancellation could result from the two subs fighting against each other if a divider is not present here. That was before mono amps were around.Now with mono amps, all subs recieve the same signal, so it doesn't matter

That's what I was getting at.

:ehh:

When did stereophonic sound come around, again? ;)

Cancellation's not a problem. Otherwise people who build line arrays would be screwed :D

hehe, you're right, each of mine (long time ago) would couple the air differently, reducing total output.
