Yes I know, I know it's a really n00bie question...but most of you know I'm pretty dumb lol

Anyways are there any issues about going with a common chamber box over two seperate chambers in a ported box? The common chamber box will be easier to build. I will be running two 10's with about 400wrms to each. If common chamber is OK I'll probably steal the '10" SQ' design off RE's website

 

if they are running off a mono channel of an amp i would say single chamber is fine. If your running seperate amps or channels for each sub, you may want to consider putting in the divider since they may not be driven by the same wattage and may end up slightly out of phase and working against each other.


Another nice thing about seperate chambers is that if in winter your like me and remove your good subs/amp, you can put in just a single sub off an old amp and save the expensive gear some wear and tear.

Just a couple things to consider.

Something that I over-heard once was "Yeah, if you go common chamber, just take all of the single chamber calculations and double them - double the volume of box and double the port size; so if you have a 3"D x6"L port make it a 6"D x 6"L port."

Yes you double the cubic volume of the chamber, but you cannot double the diameter of the port. If you double the diameter of the port, you rough quadrupple the air flow - really messing the tuning. If you are a noobie, don't try and calculate a single port, just make two ports of the recommended diameter and length.
