one or multiple chambers?

I was thinking about running 3 L5's sealed. I don't have a ton of room (regular cab), i was wondering if it would be alright to run all 3 in the same chamber. They will be running off either the BE 1600.1, or the RE 35-1D, so they will all be powered by the same amp and receive the same signal.

you CAN, but its not recomended. If you blow one sub that will give the other subs more air, which in turn could blow another, and then the last one. I'de go seperate, especially if you throw 1600 watts at them.

Man, it's gonna be a pain in the *** to make this box, especially with separate chambers. The things we do to have incredibly loud stereos. Here's a quick mock up of

the box. I gotta make the dimensions a little bigger though since i might separate them.

EDIT: Prolly should've put this in the box section. Maybe mods could move it??

My personal preference for SQ is a shared chamber. If you're careful and smart, blowing the sub(s) shouldn't be a concern.

Well, even though i'm not really going for SQ, i still think they will get pretty loud in a sealed box. I wasn't sure about blowing them because they will all be getting the same signal.
