This question has been burning in my mind for a few weeks now and nothing I can find really gives me a specific answer so I thought I figured I'd shoot a shot
So Dual sub set ups. You can rather make them in a single chamber that shares a common port or separated dual chamber with their own ports. The only answers I could find were mixed, "this one is better for sq, this one for SPL" and vice versa, but the most common on is that separated chambers are the best.
The way I see it is that the single chamber would have a bigger peak around the tuning frequency because, assuming they are the same sub and are getting the same signal from the same amp, it would perform like a bigger sub in a bigger box.
Example: you have two twelves each in separated chambers tuned to 32 hertz at 1.75 cubic feet. That's generally a flat curve super musical
Then on the flip side with single chambers set-ups, take a box 3.5 tuned to 32 hertz. The two subs together pretty much act as a single piston (again assuming all the same parameters), and since there are two it will act as a single driver. Wouldn't have cause a large peak in tuned frequency range vs separated? Therefore separate chambers are better for sound quality and single chamber is best for SPL?
What's your thoughts?
