Regarding the enclosure of 2.5 way,
I think the chamber of midwoofer and woofer should be separate for avoiding interference with each other.
But, in many DIY and ready-made speakers, the two drivers share the same chamber.
Though not being as serious as 3 way, the midwoofer and woofer of 2.5 way also handle different frequancy range and have time alignment deviation with each other.
Accordingly, I think the rear air pressure of woofer causes distortion of midrange frequency of midwoofer driver.
Then, why many 2.5 way speakers share the same chamber ?

It really does not need separate chambers. It was Zaph or Troels who documented a test of it. One problem can be the height of a single chamber, standing wave resonance. Resonance can be avoided with small enough dimensions or minimized with heavy damping.
