Multiple Woofer Enclosures
If you are building an enclosure for more than one woofer, it should always be divided to maintain the correct airspace for
each woofer. There are a couple of reasons for this. First of all, not all woofers are exactly the same. If there are slight differ-
ences between the woofers in a common enclosure, at certain frequencies one woofer may think it's in a larger enclosure than
intended. This can affect the power handling capability. Second, if one woofer fails, the remaining woofers will have more air-
space to work in than what was designed. Again, this will severely affect the power handling capability of the woofers that are
still working.
Another benefit of a divided enclosure is that the divider helps strengthen the enclosure. A large common enclosure will have
much bigger panels than one that is divided. Large panels tend to flex more and can cancel some of the woofer's output.
