I'm about to construct a seal enclosure for a 3 way system.
I'm conserned that the presure effect from the woofer is going to do 'bad things' to my midrange woofer and tweeter.
I'm thinking sperating the woofer from the rest of the system with a divider so that there is no "air" contact with the other drivers.
Doing this i can also 'tune' the size of the woofer enclosure to what the manufactuers recomend.
Is this a good or bad idea? help please!!!

use a proper crossover network. The lowest load the amplifier will see is the 4 ohms from the big woofer.
If you thought you could get away without a crossover, sorry. You will fry your tweeter if you send it a bunch of low frequencies. Each driver doesn't just filter out its band of frequencies on its own

sounds like a good idea with the sperate boxes but i would like to keep this simple and easy
Here are links to the drivers i would like to use, i know they are not brand name as such but have a look and tell me what you think.
The 8" woofer is the same exept a 4ohm version, i'm useing it as i already have them.

That Jaycar mid has its own sealed enclosure, as does the tweeter (which looks a lot like a set of VIFAs i have) so there is no need for you to build separate enclosures for them. The metal basket on the mid should get a layer of ductseal (or equivalent) on it to kill ringing.
