Hey there to all just a question to see what you all think. I am puttin 3 12W6's in my vehicle and want your opinions on whether or not I should have 3 seperate boxes or if one box that is big enough for all 3 would be just the same. The box is going to be 6 cubic feet and will be ported so I just would like your alls input on how you think I should do the insides of the box. TIA

I'd recommend that each sub have its own separate airtight  compartment, for acoustical and structural integrity.

Which W6s are they? Oold school w6s?  anniversary edition w6s?  w6v2s?

They are the old school ones. As far as the 3 seperate enclosures I was just wondering cause I have a pretty complicated box and would be much easier to not to have to make the seperate chambers. Oh well I guess can't be as hard as the box was. Any one else have any input???

I mean it's not really  REQUIRED that you have each sub in a separete chamber, but if you don't mind doing a lil extra work it is just a more foolproof design.

It's upto you weather or not you want to put in the extra effort. It's just gives you a bit more of a safety zone. Just for the sake of a woofer failing it would be isolated if it is in a seperate chamber. I assume all these subs are being run from the same amp. But i see no harm in just having a single enclosure.
