one box or four? (or two?)

I have four 10's. Should I put them all in the same box, each in their own box, or two in each box? What are the pros and cons of each? Thanks.

put em all i searate boxes cause u will get more bass that way cause yhey can all work on their own and if u un hook 1 it wont change the size of the box

ok, im about to get a triple 12 box for three punch hx2s. My question is, wouldnt it be the same if you have a box with different chambers? instead al of em in 1?

i have heard that a common or shared chamber for multiple subs increases the bass output by as much as 3 db opposed to each sub being in it's own sealed chamber within a box. i prefer putting each sub in it's own sealed chamber in order to achieve tighter bass. just my 2 centz.

Go with one big sealed box...but make sure that each sub has its own compartment...like its one box with 4 chambers...this also prevents flexing.

You don't get more bass in any config. There is a danger when subs aren't in their own chamber. If one fails any other subs sharing the air space will NOW see 2x the space which could cause the sub to over throw damaging the coil.
