[QUOTE="bigbang, post: 2955997, member: 576408"] Hey, thanks for everyones feedback. Let me clarify myself a little more. I am running are two pioneer premier TSW 3004 SPL's off of two MTX 1501D's. What I'm still not getting is this. A single woofer in a three cubic foot box has a lower cutoff than if it was in a 1 1/2 cub box. I found this out and I love the extended bottom end. but if I put two woofers in a 3 cub box, without a divider in the middle, both sharing the same airspace, is the cutoff frequency going to go up as if each woofer was playing in only 1 1/2 feet of air? For instance, if I had 10 woofers in a ten cubic foot sealed box, no dividers, is the system going to play super low because there is so much air volume in the box, or is each of the woofers going to play as if it only had a cubic foot of air apiece. If I had alot of room, I might try a very large ported box, but I am limeted in the area of a 3 cubic foot gross box. I am not concerned about over excursion or loudness. All I want is the most aqurate bass with extreme low end extension. I also prefer sealed because of the 12db rolloff below f3 and because the woofer has more damping so it sounds more acurate when dealing with the very fast drummers in alot of the metal I listen to. Tell me what you think. Also I found that running one MTX off the output of the other one causes a slight phase difference between the two, so I use Y addapters on my interconects so that each amp, sub has the same signal. I dont use the remote bass nob because I just dial in bass at the pioneer head unit so that it also gets factored in at the crossovers and any spillover from the sub frequencys goes to the midbass's.
