you don't have to. i think a divider is just reccomended so if you blow one of the subs, you can still run the other in that box without doubling the volume.

IMO its better if you do have a divider. No amp puts out the same amount of power, and no speaker functions exacally like another. So its a good idea to have them seperated.

It doesn't hurt to not have a divider, there are some minor SQ issues that are totally unnoticeable and theoretical, but it's a psychological thing. If you blow a sub, then the other will see twice the box volume and risk overexcursion. Your enclosure will also lack bracing without the divider.

i was wondering... if you run a mono block amp on one rca from a single sub out from your head unit... would you need a divider? someone at "tweeter" or hifi buys told me that.
