I'm considering building a desktop monitor system with two wideband drivers and a sub - where the sub would likely be a Dayton Epique with a couple of PRs.
I'm interested in having one driver, and crossing over to each voice coil from left and right.
The Dayton factory data for both drivers shows them as 8ohm - how would I model the TS parameters for just one voice coil?

Any left/right differences will cause the coils to "fight" each other, which at best results in less sub output when bass is panned completely to one side, (like in old Beatles recordings..) or weird phase cancellations when the low end is in stereo, as in most orchestral and many pop recordings.
Better to sum L/R prior to the sub crossover and use both coils with the same signal.
You would need to measure the TS parameters of one voice coil.
Basically, the Bl will be half that of the series measurement that Dayton provides, and QTS doubles, resulting in a crap response, something like this green trace :

I don't have one yet, I was wondering whether I could do something with a driver shared between two satellites.
