if i go ported i should leave the box open with no dividers for best performance correct?

I would put a divider. I thought if there is no divider and one of the subs blows or goes wrong mechanically then the other one has a high possiblility of messing up as well. I have seen this first hand with 2 12" RF's

YUPPERS and hearing is NEVER important

 

[pitbull12888]

allright then.... Well ive never built a ported box so this should be fun //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif .. there will be another thread started when i start to build so i can get some help on where to put the ports and what not. thanks for the help guys (and ladies)

If you put each sub in its own seperate chamber, youll have to port every chamber, which wont be easy unless you use aeros. You can use one big common chamber with a lot of bracing. But as stated, if one goes bad, youll be out of commision for a while.
