bad idea?

[RangerSkate28]

I just got two subs but one is a 12 and the other is a 10. Is it a bad idea to put both of these in one box? they're alpine r

Well no as long as the space for the subs are sealed from one another. And the compartments are the right size. But it's a bad idea to run two different subs with out a really good eq

Ya my friend said that we wouldn't have to separate the compartments and i thought it would be stupid not to. thanks for the info!

dont listen to him. your correct.

also when you play a music or a frec thur a sub it will sound slightly different if its being played on a 8, 10, or 12. so if you run them both its gonna sound like mush. unless you have a high DB slope, and good cross overs to have them play both. your going to be waisting your time.

ya its funny cus he was like 'dude ill build a sick box for you' lol

just don't do it unless you're ready to sink a lot of money and time into independent enclosures that will make them imitate the others sound...

just keep whichever one fits your application better and sell the other to help pay for the wiring, etc.

Would it still work If i ran two different amps? I have never really heard of anyone running a 12 and a 10 in the same system...maybe cus it doesnt work. anyways heres an drawing of the enclosure idea

if it was seperated would it still sound good?

if you played your lows thur a 10 and a 12 at the same time it will sound like shit. what you need to do is set limits for your freq range. so your 10 starts at 500-250hz and your 12 plays 250 -25Hz. to get this to happen. you need eq's or two sets of adjustable LPF and HPF filters. and a lot of time and dedication. did this set up for a show once. wiht an 8, 10, and 12. it was cool. looked like a set or rack toms being played but its no fun really, when your the guy setting them up. putting them in a box and powering them is the easy aprt
