Default Sealed AND ported box?

I have a 10" stage 3 Rockford punch In a sealed box now, sounds allright... I now can get my hands on a 10" Rockford Power sub, which is recomeded to be in a ported box.

My Question is, can I make a box that has one side sealed with the punch, and the other side ported with the power sub?? How will it sound? I'm asking b/c I dont think I've ever seen it done before. As long as I keep the compartments seperate, it'll work right?

More than likely it would sound like crap. Either use a sealed box or a ported box. If you try it let me know the results.

I'll have to agree with SiRGDC. Although the subs will work fine in 2 separate chambers, the different group delays of the sealed/ported will cause it to sound like crap.

when I saw the title I thought you were talking about a bandpass box (which sucks too)

but i'm glad i was wrong.

and yes, it would sound craptacular

Just using completely different woofers will sound like crap. More so then running the same woofers in two seperate boxes IMO.
