the best thing to do would have been to isolate each sub from each other.

thanx for the props

I'm using 3/4 mdf and as fas as separate chambers did'nt have enough room to separate them all and still have enough air space.

This is my first time ever trying a glassed box in my life and just shooting from the hip and using what i have found on the web to go by.

Well see how it comes out in another couple of weeks hopefully when i get time to finish the bondo and putty coat.

Ill keep it updated as i go along

The problem is that you now have to figure out how much air space you have, and how that's going to affect having mulitiple woofers in the same compartment - and then use that info to pick your woofers.

The box should be built for the specific woofers you're using - believe me, it's easier than trying to find woofers to fit...

I have the box in 4 separate chambers 2 subs for each chamber and each 2 sub chamber has 1.8o net cubic ft of air. I was going to go with audio bahn subs but since they went out of business I am having trouble finding something that I would like to go with. I built the box for the woofers that I was going to go with but now that is thrown out the windo and I am sure as heck not going to build another box if you know what I mean.

If anyone has any recommendations on what kind of subs would go great with .9 cubic ft air net or overall 1.8 cubic ft air net please let me know

here is the pics of each chamber by itself
