Team_DC-Derrick Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 didnt read anything other than the initial question do you want rattle? if yes, subs up port back will prob be louder to the ear and mic, but rattle like a mother fucker subs up port up could be close as loud on the ear, but diff on the mic, and have almost no rattle.... so if you are happy with your truck sounding like a trashcan with 2 cats fighting in it, from the outside go with subs up port back.. i hate rattle, sorry The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Team_DC-Derrick Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Why the dual chambers? Why not go single chamber, single port? if you blow 1 sub, you can still have beat while you are either waiting for warranty, or recones to get there. if you have a single chamber box, you just essentially made the box double the size and 1 sub is trying to play through double its air space.. and it will eventually blow. easier to be safer The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

IMO, if you use a mono block amp, it is more efficient to do single chamber, single port. And the sub playing through double the airspace? What about the other sub, does it not consume airspace as well? To me, if you are running 2+ subs under a single load, a single chamber is better. Again, just my opinion.

Is this Considered single chamber? I would say its partially a single chamber, since you dont have anything to stop the air flow to go into the other side, if you put a triangle right in the middle of the port, along the back wall, it will be a full single chamber box..

I think we are talking about two different things? I'm talking only about both subs working as they should. And the reason it would be more efficient is that both subs are acting as one when running from a monoblock, thus a single chamber allows both subs to work as one. Not sure if I said that right. Also, this is just my opinion, I'm not a pro. At least not till next week! (Start a new job!) Anyone else care to chime in?
