I've been reading up a lot lately about class D amps and thinking about building a small boombox. I'd like to try a magnet-to-magnet dipole design. I've been looking at the "HIFI speaker design tools" linked from the Madisound website and I'm starting to get a grasp on optimizing an enclosure. I'm going to play around some with winISD when I get home. (I'm on a mac at work so the mh-audio tools are the best I've been able to find, but still don't allow for as much customization as I think winISD does.) I think it'll help me out to see some frequency response plots using different drivers and enclosures of different sizes.
One thing I'm not getting is how to plan for the magnet-to-magnet dipole setup. Will I be in the right ballpark if I optimize for a single driver in its own box then just double everything? Or are there other things to consider? Can winISD model a system like this with two opposing drivers in a single enclosure?
