Quick Q about adding set of subs to a box and how it affects tuning

[JakeM 10+ year member]

I have two 4.14cuft boxes (theyre actually one big box with a divider down the middle) so the entire box is about 8.28cuft. Anyway i have the subs inverted on the top of the box and its tuned to 36hz. What affect would there be if I added two more subs to the from of the box so there are two subs sharing the same 4.14cuft of airspace? I can post pics if I didnt explain it well enough.

are they 12's? so you have 1 sub in each 4cuft box?

it would create an isobaric style alignment. which would make the woofers think they are seeing double the airspace, which i dont know how it would react in a ported type application.

i dont think you would need that much airspace though... in my oppinion, you will be better off just leaving it as it is.

theyre 15's, so no one can give me a definent answer?

heres a picture of what I have. I want to mount my two new ones on the front regular, not inverted

i would leave it alone, kickers love big box's, i know the kicker l7 15 2006 like about 6cf a piece

so it wouldnt even be worth it to get two more?

nah, they wouldn't be able to hit the lows as well in the reduced airspace

and 15" L7's sound like ass above 50hz or so, imo

ok, well what would it hit harder if I just sealed the box and but the two in front?

no.

adding more speakers is not the answer to getting louder.
