sounds like a great idea. would be good for cases when shock loading of one piece due to the other one failing is not an issue. that is, if each piece would not hold much on their own anyway they would be better off equalised. if one blows while equalised with the other, it wouldve popped anyway right?

i'd just be careful, and make sure that both of the shit pieces are equally as shit as each other. if you had one absolutely pathetic piece, and one not-so-good piece; then the pathetic one might fail no matter what, and you will shock load the other one and then...

post-edit: read Ronny's post below instead of this one.
