if your going to use all the subs you will need at least two seperate chambers.

I love those 1500 watt speakers. Let me see they require a minimum of .01 sq ft and a maximum of infinite baffle. Make sure to use plenty of polyfill on the smaller enclousure. Its gonna sound great?!?
Seriously I still dont know what kind of speakers your referring to. Once you know the brand... goto their website and check it out.

Hey what does it mean when they say the woofer box has a baffle?

A baffle is used to prevent the compression and rarefaction of the woofer from meeting (read: cancellation) of each other. A baffle could be a wood board that the speaker is mounted within or even a bowl that a 6" speaker sits within.

Im still comfused!!!! I just bought a regular box for my 2 subs. Its just a box for 2 subs with the middle board to separate the chambers. So i would have to modify this box with a baffle please explain to me like i'm a 2 year old.

go on this site and find the sub box calculator and i am GUESSING that those 12" audiobahns are the ones that you are useing...so you just have to throw in some #s into the calculator for messurements until they add up to 1.5 or 2.5 cu ft. cause 3.5 cu ft. would be too much space just for one sub. messure your trunk or hatch first and then calculate it out on the sub box calculator. but remember to keep in mind to double baffle the sub cause these things are really really big.

 this is what i understand but that's about it... now i don't inten to enter any spl ompetition . but i want to get the best bass out of them...so i think the box has to be 6.30cu feet.i have the space i have a blazer s-10 and the back has to be at least 8cu feet but to a 10cu feet. now is there a lot of difference bwtween the spl and the everyday base box (or midsize one)

seriously you dont need a box that big to have big hard hitting spl. not even for every day listening bass. my suggestion is, since the subs need 1.5 or 2.5 make the box 3, 5cu ft. single chamber braced in the middle with your ports along with it..hell with these 12's you dont even need the other subs that you have..this way you'll have more room to put groceries or a prostitute or something in the back..ya know that extra space that you would like to have

Greg, a baffle is what you mount the speaker to, so no, you don't need to add any to your box.

theblack lines in between divide the chambers, iand now i decide to put the amp in the with the box b/c on the back of my car there 4 big ass bolts and i'm gonna use two of them to hold the box down in case of any stichy fingers...so i'm going to use haft of my truck to do the box i have no exsact measure (to cold to go outside now) but i'll get them by tonight or just baybe later...
