2 American Bass XD 10's box help

[bsneon98]

Last time I had my subs out of my current box, I noticed that each woofer has its own chamber. Any reasons behind that and if so what are the differences?

There are a few reasons to use this design: a) it is self bracing b ) since is symmetrical both subs loading is the same c) in the case an L port is obstructed by lateral car bracing the port in the middle can help. Just another option for you to keep in mind.

What do you suggest I do?

You have more experience than I do with enclosures.

Here is another suggestion:

Enclosure Specifications:

Fb = 32 Hz

Vb = 2.4 ft^3

External Height = 14 in

External Width = 28.5 in

External Depth = 18 in

Port Width = 2 3/8 in

Cut Sheet List:

* All Dimensions in Inches.

* Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts.

External Enclosure Parts:

2x Front = 13 1/16 x 12 1/2

Back = 28 1/2 x 12 1/2

Left & Right Sides: 16 1/2 x 12 1/2

Top & Bottom = 28 1/2 x 18

Shared Port Internal Assembly Parts:

2 x Front to Back = 15 5/16 x 12 1/2

2 x Extension = 8 3/16 x 12 1/2

Assembly guide (generic dimensions):

Sorry for getting into this thread and getting it off topic for the thread starter. But i was wondering if i could use this same enclosure for my 2 10" ssa dcons i have this is somewhat what im looking for the only thing with me is i would like to have subs up port back.

If would a similar box, but different port area, subs up not recommended in trunk cars, not sure what vehicle you have, probably best if you started a thread.

I will start a thread. I have a hatchback integra

Can't say the L ported is just not going to work, anyhow I wouldn't tune that low if I expected to perform any loud.

I would like to keep the same idea for bracing (ports sharing the common wall) so the subs load the same.

Basically its like redesigning my current box but tuning it lower.

I always thought that 32 hz was a good happy medium, how is it too low to be loud?

Well I was mainly talking about the 24-29.9Hz ideas in the first post.

Ok cool. 32hz it is!

Having 3 common port walls means that each sub is basically in its own box correct?

Id like to have as little port restriction as possible

3 common wall results in a port on the side like in post #8, two common wall usually result in boxes like the one I posted, if you are building a port on the side enclosure just make sure to adjust the tuning.
