I just got 2 Alpine Type R's and the port dimensions for the box are 0.75^3' to I believe it was 1.6^3'. I was wondering if it would be better to double that size and put the 2 subs in and then put a divisor equally dividing the full box or if i shouldnt even worry about dividing it and just let the 2 subs sit in there alone. I hope this makes sense.

 

i've always been told to divide

 

mine are toghether and sound awesome

 

i say divide them.

 

Everybody who has them together is probably running them in a bow which is divided.

Most dual boxes have a wall down the middle which seals the two sides, making it 2 seperate boxes.

 

if they are getting a mono signal then it doesn't matter, but if they are getting a stereo signal then they have to be divided.

 

Yea that would make sense

 

You guys are definitely correct about dividing subs when each sub is receiving a separate stereo signal. It has been a pretty big debate over time as to whether you should use two subs in the same large enclosure or not. There is no single correct answer, but here are some things to think about..... Some people say that placing two speakers in the same enclosure provides "accoustic coupling", which will actually help make the speakers play louder, kind of like how geese fly in a V formation. On the other hand, if you have the subs in the same air space together AND if ONE of the subs blows, you will now have one sub operating with double the recommended air space. If you place both subs in one large enclosure be sure to brace the box very well! If you think about it, having a divider in the middle of the two subs would actually serve as a brace for the entire enclosure.

 

Thats why I did this
