[QUOTE="t1n0m3n, post: 6739066, member: 553573"] On paper, I don't think that there is anything wrong with the idea of both a sealed and ported box. However, I think that it would take a lot of effort to get it to sound right. Maybe even impossible if they were driven on the same channel by the same amp and the same baffle. I think that you would have issues of the woofers working against each other and sounding muddy. However, put them on different crossovers, eq channels, amps, baffles, etc and you can make most anything work with enough time, energy, money and the proper tools. Just a thought though, technically there is no difference between this design and using multiple manufacturer's subs in differently (or even same) tuned boxes... Just more variables to make it sound right. In the end, the sound that would come out of this type of setup would probably not sound much, if any, better than a simpler ported or sealed setup. Of course I could be wrong... Why don't you try it and let us know the results? [/QUOTE]
