Unhappy

Hey guys, I am just wondering if it will damage my subs if I have one mounted normally and the other one mounted with the magnet outside of a box with no divider?? Is it okay to do this or will be damage one of the subs?? Thanks for any / all help you can give me!! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]

Make sure you wire the subs out of phase with each other.

iso-barik set up. with that you will only need half the size of a normal box. one sub is in the box and one is mounted right on top of the other one. with this just make sure you trunk is seal up good or else you could risk hurting the subs

The subs would be on each side of a /--\ shape they would not be facing each other... The subs are both Audiobahn DVC and I would like to have one magnet out and one magnet in the box... If its not good for the subs I will just put both magnets out but I would prefer to have one in to display my amps better...

if you are going to running them in a box like that i dont think that you should be having one facing out. they should be the same.

Doesnt matter. Just be sure to wire them in oppiosite phase like was said before.
