Box Question with 2 amps and 2 subs...
Tuesday, May 16, 2006 12:00 PM
Alright, so I was reading a post a while back and it said something about if you have 2 amps powering two subs individually, its more benificial to have the subs seperately sealed away from eachother? Is this true, because I am about to re-do my box build and I want to do this one right...Like I'm pretty happy with my current box, but anything i can do to get it better would be great.

Also, I'm thinking of pointing my subs into the cab and sealing off the trunk, is this difficult to do, and would it sound better like this? Would there be any advantages/disadvantages to this setup as compared to rebounding the soundwaves off the trunk? Any input is appreciated, thanks..

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

ok, yes it is benifical to have each sub with its own chamber. i think itd be better to do it that way, when i had 2 12"s in one common chamber ported it sounded kinda sloppy to me.

yes it is worth it, depending who you talk to it can be easy or hard. goal is to seal box/trunk from the cabin no air or rattle in between. many many people say its worth it and so do i, i have only heard one guy stand up for rearward firing boxes. to him it was better because the wave was more matured when it hit the listener's ear, but because of the bouncing, part of the wave is canceled (i.e. both your hands cannot take up the exact same space at the same time) thus the love for sealing off trunk from cabin. typically you have less trunk rattle from a sealed trunk to cabin setup....thats why i love it.
