Pertty sure the low end is 23hz, not sure of the top end. It used to say on RE' s old web site, but I can't find it anymore.

Yes.

The only argument is if you are running a mono amp you won't need seperate chambers.

But with two different channels you will need seperate chambers to keep from having cancelation problems.

So yep seperate is better.

Weird how when a related topic was discussed a few days ago here, everyone came in to say sub bass is recorded in mono nowadays, but you guys also worry about cacellation between the two channels in a single chamber enclosure.

i dont really care about the low end, ive got that covered.

Btw im going to put 2 in a fiberglass enclosure with no seperator. Mono of course.

I dont think there will be cancelation.
