would sound like mad cancellation.

if thats what you want, why not try a bandpass enclosure?

or, do what the post above says and pick one or the other (hint, this is your best bet)

people always talk about cancellation but the truth of the matter is you cant say if this will actually happen or not until you try it. Build it and if you like it keep it, if you dont build another box

i have a feeling if it's built right then the sub that is ported will be "louder" therefore causing cancellation. But i could be totally wrong tho

i feel very confident in saying that the output and results from this type enclosure would be much less desirable than an either sealed or ported enclosure.

eh true ill stick with a vented box.... is thier a difference between a dual 12" enclosure with the two vents on the out side of the subs(not in the middle) compared to a normal box you would see with the vent in the middle with a divider in between like this... for 2 12" L7's
