Dual Subwoofer Sealed Enclosures

[MikeMartel 64]

For most of the enclosures iv seen, they have separate chambers for each sub. Is this the way it is recommended to be done? Or will it also work with having both subs sealed in one box? Im simply trying to expand my knowledge about box building and I know you guys will help.

Generally it's best to separate the enclosure into separate chambers for two reasons: First, that divider acts as a brace for the enclosure and helps strengthen the structure of the enclosure. Second, in the event one driver fails it protects the second driver a little more for subsequently being damaged. If one driver fails the 2nd driver would then "see" an enclosure twice the volume as intended which would increase the efficiency and could potentially result in the driver being overpowered if you are already running close to the limit.

Other than that, there won't be any performance differences.

If built properly, you can run as many subs in a single chamber as you want.

I've had 4 10"s in a single sealed box.
