yes i know some of d points im posting has been made b4 :
from speaking to a few installers & DIY folks who have more experience with this than me they like d separate chambers because they prefer each sub operating in its own specific cuft\volume so in case if 1 sub stops working it will not directly affect d operating volume for d other subs , for ex say 4 12s in a 10cuft box in theory its like 2.5cuft for each sub but if 1 stops working then each of d others will "be seeing" 3.33cuft each which can possibly bottom out or over exert d remaining 3 subs before u detect 1 or 2 subs are not working
1 of d main reasons why a huge chamber box is chosen is so more subs can be stuffed in limited amt of space , that way less cuft space is occupied instead of using more wood to make separate sections & u dont need to make multiple ports too
i see above & even b4 this thread that ppl recommend if ur using sperate amps that its recommended to do separate enclosures : what about if ur building a monster system & u cannot get a single amp to power all of ur subs with sufficient power but u have a large single chamber box ? .... its only fairly recently 10k,20k,30k amps have come out so b4 that ppl had no choice but to use multiple amps & even to now ppl still do it too
in a nut shell : i think d whole issue comes down to d available amt of workable space ur vehicle has or how much of it ur will to take up .....
