trying customize my own box for my 2 15" l7s to get it to hit lower and louder should i make them in the same chamber with a big port. it would save me alot of space in my trunk and i can get more cu ft per sub if i do it that way. are there any cons about putting them both in same chamber besides if one blows the other may.

when 2 subs share the same chamber, they fight each other. One will go to pound and wont let the other one move and vice-versa.

yea i want them in their own seperate chamber but if i do that i have the decrease the width and that means my port size is gonna have to be smaller. smaller port more port noise. so im kinda stuck if i knew someone who made boxes with the port is like on the side of the box or back that would be fine because the port area can be bigger. everyone puts the port on the front of the box. my limitations is 40" with and 18" high. ive tried klausaudio.com but they really dont do too too custom work.

That would only happen if they were out of phase, or your polarities are reversed on one of the subs. If you have two or more subs sharing a chamber, as long as they are in phase with each other, they won't "fight" each other. Look at SPL vehicles. They use huge shared ported enclosures. If the subs fought each other, they would lose SPL, thus they would use individual chambers that are individually ported. But they don't.

so 2 of the same kind of subs and powered by the same power will be fine in a common chamber. of course it will be better in different chambers but will this sound ok for SPL purposes.. in same chamber that is.

i had to go with one chamber short on space i am limited to 39" width and 18" height.... i havent told them to start making this box yet. does anyone have anything i can do to make it louder. im thinking i should make each sub have 4cuft right now its set to 3.5 but then i would have to increase the port size which will make width bigger. anyone plz .

Thing with that is those subs move a lot of air, and the more space the better. 3.5 cubes per sub won't give what 7 cubes for both will...
