[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8861101, member: 689267"] Okay, I'm calling semantics here. While "technically correct" it's not very relevant, I could have made the argument that the enclosure doesn't meet the 0.62: 1: 1.62 golden mean ratio either. Does that help the situation, I think not. In a box that is this size and shape, no need to take up room with a divider or suggest that someone try or that they need to reinvent the wheel trying to get a divider in place or worse, build a new box. which may be needed anyway. If it is, a simple dowel or brace that would add stiffness would be a good thing to reinforce the cabinet's rigidity. The statement the OP made was, ah, okay, need a divider - like that was going to make a difference or fix his issue, and honestly, it won't. I just clarified that what he was thinking would make a difference or address the issue, wouldn't. I'm sure you realize that the pressure changes for a single driver in a volume of X will be exactly the same as for two identical drivers in a volume of 2X, right? The wavelengths in subwoofers are long and having dual drivers share a common chamber isn't an issue at these (100 Hz or so) frequencies. Once you get to a few hundred Hz or higher, the story may be a little different due to standing waves and out-of-phase internal cancellation. Not an issue here. ;) [/QUOTE]
