[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 6540705, member: 607015"] Yep, lots of guys are simply going for output so they use as much vent area as they can and to keep the vent length down they go with more volume than is needed. Might be loud, but it's certainly not accurate and it probably exhibits poor cone damping and a hollow sounding character. Everyone's mileage will vary and there are some clever solutions that go against the usual logic so I'm not addressing those individuals who know exactly what they're doing with regards to very specific custom installs. I'm describing those individuals who tend to "design" and build enclosures to have a certain tuning and then attempt stick any old driver in there and can't understand why something just isn't right. I should clarify that it won't always be the case where you [I]have[/I] to have two subs in the same air space but when using subs with a low Vas, it's very effective. I just wanted to help you with your initial problem and hopefully to give a bit of insight as to how certain things can affect certain results. I'll be the first to say that I do not care for SPL setups and I do not specialize in them so you may want to seek the help of someone like mobeious or many others who are well versed in SPL designs.
