Question that has been on my mind forever!

Mike Woestenenk Silver Member Username: Poundhardheh Palmerston, Ontario Canada Post Number: 154 Registered: Oct-08	Posted on Saturday, March 07, 2009 - 19:45 GMT Hey guys, This question has been on my mind forever... Is it possible to mix two sizes of subs in one enclosure? Say 15" Fi Q with 2 10" Q's? I have never ever found this out. Or if not same enclosure make a seperate enclosure for the two 10's? I don't plan on doing this, just curious!

At the moment I got a 15" Fi Bl coming this week and I plan on around a 4.7 cube boxish. Than maybe I will order 2 10" and put each ten in a little sealed box, around a cube or so each. What you think? Bad idea? i've always just wanted to try it!

Bad idea? All seperate enclosures. The 15" will be ported, tuned around 35hz. If it's a bad idea than I'm not doing it, I was always just wanting to try it !

(crossovers) it would probably sound decent. But Im by no means an expert

It won't hurt anything (in separate boxes), but like Capps said without the right crossover points it would sound like sh!t. Don't use them on the same amp either lol. Would it pointless and stupid to actually use a permanent setup considering the variables??? Yes.
