mini box speakers - the need for a cabinet divider?

[soundmun]

I am planing to make a box for mini boom box 3.5 "speakers of 0.2 cf with a divider in the midle to make it a0.1 per speaker as suggested.
I was thinking will it sound as good if no divider ? a pair of 3.5" in 0.2 cf - is it like each speaker has 0.2 cf or each has a 0.1 or none of the above?

IMO, if .1cf is what is modeled, you should go with the divider. Both would be seeing the total volume as not what was the design intent. These drivers are smaller though, so it actually might not make a lot of difference.

Here is the recomendation form parts express :
"The volume I would recommend for this driver is 0.2 cubic feet with a 1.5" diameter, 1.5" long port for a tuning frequency of 91 Hz and an F3 of 71 Hz.
but this is for each speaker into a 0.2cf."
So ,if both drivers see the entire volume in the case of no divider , can I just add 2 ports and it will be the recomended ported 0.2cf version?
