How bout installing right and not blowing the sub? If your trying to get every last inch of space, seperate enclosures will not work, and they are more expensive to build, more chance of messing up the enclosure. And if you can't tell a sub is blown, something is wrong with you, a 3dB decrease in sound should be more than noticable, plus it isn't hard to unplug the speaker wires and put a 9v to it and see if they are blown.
Well, If your telling me a seperate chambered box is harder to make because it is harder to build then your an idiot. If your building boxes already it should be pretty easy to take the math you already know and move some numbers around.
I'm not saying open chambers will never work but if you have the room then do seperate.
More expensive? If you dont have an extra $10 to spend on some wood then you prob shouldnt be building a system anyways.
I'm not saying that I cant tell if a sub is blown, either.
Tuning is much easier to do if you have seperate chambers as well, Though with this he has one amp so it doesnt really matter. I doubt there was much tuning involved anyways.

i have a problem with box flex - with a span of wood that long without any supports it will flex- loosing sound engery... shared air volume not a problem if box regitity is built into it, a few supports (one between subs) and corners, make a much stiffer box, i am now in the habbit of doubling up on the mounting surface where the subs mount (or at least doing a ring so you have 1 1/2 of wood to screw to (i also now use t nuts and allen head screws to hold subs in) these few things make a huge difference in durablitly of the box. plus it allows you to give the box a more custom look.

Installation is not always the reason for a blown sub.

I didn't say it was harder now did I? You have more of a chance making an error with 2 ports than one, it is that simple.
How is tuning easier? I would say it is easier with a shared chamber, given the subs are in the same exact airspace with the same exact port, this goes back to your chance of error, if your 1/4" off on one box than the other, tuning is going to be more difficult.
Like I said before, almost every box I see with 2 subs is a single chamber box, it is just more pratical to build it like that.

Steve meade is on a different level of box building. Lol. I'm sure he doesnt use 3/4inch MDF. Prob more like 1 inch or 1 1/8.
Prefab boxes are shit, they all flex.

Some pre-fabs are pretty good, I highly reccomend them to people with trucks, and small sealed ones will almost never flex, hell most won't flex unless they are pretty large.
