Dali 40 please tell me how this bass system works.

I was surfing along the net and found a restoration tread witch included a pair of speakers with a bass solution that made me curious.

The speakers. the Dali 40.
Have 4 identical woofers. 2 of them on the front baffle in ported chambers, BUT installed back to back with a second pair playing into a pair of sealed chambers, acting as a type of band pass system sharing the ported chamber with the front woofers.

Do the inner woofers act as a kind of 0.5 helpers, just boosting a small area down low, or how does this really works?

Dali themselves have named this L-linkage VEB2R bassrelex.
But there is not much info to be found.

That IS quite odd. Basically the speaker on the front of the cabinet is in a vented box, and the woofer inside the cabinet is in a bandpass box.

I would expect that the response would not be ideal, because a bandpass box and a vented box are tuned to different frequencies, even if the volume is the same. Bandpass boxes are generally tuned higher than vented boxes, even if the F3 is the same.
