Hello Everyone,
I'm making an 4-way active open baffle, ww/w/m/t. My current issue is I plan on using two 12" woofers per side with a crossover of 200hz for the low end. I will be using DSP to control the crossover using FIR and phase/timing. Based off that, I'm confused as to how the sound waves interact with two woofers compared to a single one.
Do the sound waves multiple and act as one or are there other things to account for?
My plan is to time/phase align them to the rest of the drivers, but they are not going to be individually controlled but wired together.
Do I angle them to have mechanical time alignment or can I just dsp them as 1 speaker without having to angle both of them.

That is good to hear that my assumption was correct. What about the spacing then between these two woofers to the next mid-woofer? Am I accounting the spacing from the center of the bottom woofer or the middle of both woofers? I won't be able to get 1/4 WL between the bottom woofer and mid woofer but under 0.5 WV should be okay?
I have read quite a lot of Linkwitz's stuff already and will be incorporating some of his work. Just not into the woofers, I plan on doing something a little different.
This is also worth a read, there is quite a bit of info on the Note RS II that is interesting including their take on the dual woofer W setup. There are also a couple of threads on here dedicated to this speaker
