two different tunings

[tsupra98 10+ year member]

so i was thinking about getting two 12" L7's. and i want them to hit all notes and pound them. so i was wondering if building two boxes and just make it look like it's one. how would it sound and be if i tuned the two boxes to different freq. i'd tune one of them to around 32 and the other i'm not sure maybe 45 or so. i'd either be running them with two zx750.1 or one zx1500.1 i'm not sure yet. so would this work out or is it just a bad idea?

alright thanks guys. i'm new at building my own boxes and just wanted to see what people thought about this. i wasn't sure if it was a pretty good idea or a really bad idea. i guess it was a really bad idea

right now i just have a 15" L5 in 5 cu ft tuned to 32 hz and i love it. i think it soungs great and everyone thats heard it thinks the same thing. i don't now why people say they don't sound good.

Once you've heard a setup that really does sound good, you'll agree that the L5s and 7s don't sound all that good in 99% of the setups out there.
