combining two subs in one box?

Question

I used a online box design program to get my deminsions. Do I need to make two seperate boxes or can I just double all the deminsions? Does there need to be a wall inside the box seperating the two chambers? Thanx

Answer 1

Assuming the subs are identical, then you can do it either way; they'll sound the same whether they each have their own chamber or they share a double-sized chamber. However, there are some advantages to using a divider:

--If one sub stops working or gets disconnected, it won't have an effect on the other sub
--A dividing wall provides additional bracing for the box, so it will be sturdier and won't flex as much

Answer 2

I would highly recommend a dividing baffle to make one large box. You did, afterall, use the design software for one sub right?

Answer 3

It all depends on the speakers. Some sound good without a center divider.

Answer 4

Your speakers should be ok in one box.
