no real advantage or disadvantage other than added box volume......and looks....however if u do this make sure u reverse the polarity so u dont have any cancelation.....good luck

one thing i like about alpine is that you can reverse the phase with just a push of a button..well..not gonna lie to you..you gotta push LOTTA buttons to do so.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

to prevent cancelation........w/ them reversed the bass can/will cancel any bass from your mid range speakers
