Why Chamber A Dual Sub Sealed Enclosure?

[Psycareyo 10+ year member]

Why chamber a sealed dual woofer enclosure? I'd imagine it would be more responsive, acurate and tighter bass?

Is there a more in depth explanation?

No change in sound really, just added bracing and if a single sub blows, it will be easier to tell and it won't act like a passive radiator tuned very high.

Would you get more dbs with a box not having a partition?

No

U need a patition in a dual chamber box if ur running a stereo setup. 2 channel amp...

I don't have much technical experiance so I'm going to have to ask...Why?

Casue 2 subs playing on their own channels need to be seperated if not they cancell out. 2 different frequencys in one chamber not good

If one channel is weaker than the other

you maybe could blow the speaker that is

getting less power in shared and

sealed airspace

Hmmm that makes perfect sense.

When u play subs in stereo they each have their own frequency. Mono they both play one freqency. You should not use 2 subs on a stereo amp in one chamber.

No. I already said there would be no difference in sound. A difference in output would be a difference in sound.

The only way the subs would cancel out is if they played the same frequency out of phase from one another. If that is the case, the partition in the box is going to make NO difference at all.

The reason you would want separate chambers would be if you had stereo bass (which is very, very, rare) and even then, the difference wouldn't be very noticeable. One driver playing the signal the other is not playing would just fight slightly against the other driver and there would be some distortion.

And I hope you know that your speakers and subs play far more than 1 frequency at a time. Multiple frequencies in a single enclosure is not going to harm or change anything. Now, two different signals being played by two different drivers is a different issue but in the realm of bass, it's not really going to happen.

Excellent info. I'm still a little fuzzy on the understanding but I've got what I needed to know.

Thank you.

well it can also sometimes messed up your sub if you have 2 in the same chamber

And why is that?

And why is that?

the subs can push on each other. I really don't know why except for that, but it does happen. my friend had 2 8's in a sealed box and they messed up because there was only 1 chamber for both subs.
