I just bought two Audiobahn AW1000q's and these things are loud. There not setup yet, but the reason I bought them is because a friend of mine has them and I heard them.
What is louder?
-Two Separate Sealed Boxes
-One Dual Subwoofer Box
-Two Separate Vented Boxes
-One Dual Vented Box

Answer:
Thanks for emailing us the good question Shawn. It's really a tough one to answer, because like most electronic quesitons there was NOT ENOUGH information given. I tried emailing you back, but you delayed to reply so I'm going with this now.
First I will tell you what I crave to know that would of helped me answer your question better. I know it's tough to give all the details when you may or may not even know what details I desire to know. So here they go.
-What size subwoofer?.. 10s, 12s, 15s.. This helps me because I can look up what specs for the subwoofer needs to make the enclosure. For example, a 15 inch sub is going to need a lot more cubic feet space in the box then a smaller ten inch woofer.
-What type of vehicle you have. At times, vented enclosures sound worse than sealed enclosures because of the vehicle and air space available. There are so many different variables in this. Vehicle make really helps.
-MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, what bass sound do YOU DESIRE? The different enclosures give different sounds of bass and that is a big deal for those of you wanting different bass sounds. A sealed box will sound more crisp and heavier closer to the box. But I wont get into that too much right now.
There are a lot of things I would of loved to know, but I will give you an answer off of what I do know to help you Shawn.
I would and I repeat "I WOULD" go with a vented box because I like the sound of them and they are tested to be a lot louder than sealed boxes in most circumstances. As for the dual single box or separate boxes.. Figure out how big the boxes need to be by looking up the subwoofer box specs and go from there.
If it is a lot of space, and making one box will be tough.. than make two different ones and place them nicer in your vehicle. It's all mostly opinion based on what you want. The math of it is, one box really is the same as two boxes because they are seperated inside any how. That might look really cool with separate boxes ya know.
Thanks for the good question man. Enjoy!
What is louder, dual boxes or one big box for dual subwoofers? I'm deciding what to do for my box situation. I need to know what is louder? Will two separate boxes be louder than one box that holds two subwoofers? The quicker the help, the better. I'm not sure if it matters. Please Help?

Answer:
Thanks for sending in the question Geneva. Our sites are on the growth and that is a very cool thing. Your question is a good question and makes for a serious answer.
In all nature, all subwoofer boxes that hold dual subwoofers ARE actually separate boxes on their own. The way they are designed is so that they are literally separate, but they are just connected and built as one. This might be hard to understand, but one you take a look at the box itself it may be a bit easier to understand.
If you think of a regular box as a rectangle, you just need to imagine putting a piece of wood in the middle to separate them and that is what they do. Vented boxes are the same concept but a bit more difficult to explain and imagine.
So to answer your question, EITHER the separate boxes or a single box for two subwoofers. They literally are the same thing unless built wrong. Sometimes it is ok not to separate the two woofers in a single box AS LONG as they are the same woofer.
Different woofers will push different pressures on each other and most likely wreck the weaker of the two.
I think some more important variables should be looked into that may help you a bit more. I will list a couple to help you get started a bit.
1. Box Size
Box size is very important. Your subwoofer/s have different specs for each different brand and different make. If a sub calls for a lot of box space and you only give it a tiny bit.. the sub will not be to it's full potential. So many people FORGET THIS, and it is one of the most important factors.
2. Vented versus Sealed
Most of the time, vented enclosures are louder now a days. It depends on what type of bass you desire, but like I just said vented boxes are mostly louder. Look into this a bit. I know a lot of spec sheets will tell you what your subwoofer sounds best in.
3. RMS Amplifier Power
I know this is way off topic, but this is the last huge deal I like to include when it comes to powering up a loud system. Look into what it means and how much your subwoofers need. It is very important and will make the difference in your system being super loud versus kinda, not really that loud.
