Are you sayin four subs two boxes both ported?  Why can't you divide the boxes up into four?  And I'm not extremely familiar w/ probes but they don't have very much room in them do they (and you're putting four 12 subs in a ported box?) ?  You must have some kinda box planed out .  Would that sound good (four subs two ported boxes) ?  Can you even do that?

Don't know bout that man... why can't you divide each chamber?  plus as I'm sure you've read or heard a chamber w/ two subs can be dangerous for the system.  If a sub goes then the other is left to compensate for it.  And a ported/vented enclosure has to be close to exact anyways.

You can design a ported box for two drivers per enclosure. WinISD will do that for you and it's free software. The real trick is designing a ported enclosure without knowing the exact volume.
