have you got the manuals for the subs?
have a good look in there. you will find tested box sizes & shapes (well kicker supplies diagrams in manuals)
secondly a fair bit of trial & error is needed once you have the rough box size & shape. as your ears & listening style will be different to everyone elses.
ohh and dont foreget to rip up on old pillow. (you want the insides)
spread evenly between the 2 boxes. you want between 40% & 60% of the sub box filled with pillow insides (cant member the stuffings name).
ohh and make sure you put a mass devider between the subs. itll sound better.

it adds depth to the box.
it is supposed to make a physical 100L box a theoritical 125-150L box.
it is supposed to give better bass.
i cant say wether or not it makes a difference as ive never run a sub without it in there. its a recommended thing to do wid kickers. and im pretty sure JL says you should do it to.
