[QUOTE="scottyk, post: 6819255, member: 610697"] To actually elaborate on why it isn't such a great idea, you run into a few problems. One being that the one ported box and the one sealed box are different sizes as far as the amount of airspace. Another being that the boxes are probably also tuned to different frequencies. You can actaully have cancellation of noise if I understand correctly. What more (and I'm not saying I know for sure, just saying), if both of those boxes are pre-fab, not custom/well-made boxes, the response out of both subs will be even worse. Naturally, ported boxes deliver a sort of 'boomier' bass and sealed boxes produce 'tighter' sounding bass (but not always!) Someone else can get into the nitty gritty details of it if you need more elaboration. Your best bet is to find someone who builds sturdy and well made boxes (many members on here do for a great price) for both of your 12's. That will get you the best response out of your woofers. To your other question, where your port is relative to the box isn't something I'm terribly familiar with as far as what's best. I believe a lot of it has to do with where the box is relative to your car and what sounds best in your specific vehicle.
