Get a free copy of something like WinISD and the factory T/S numbers for your preferred driver. You're generally constraining yourself to ~50-60 liters (which is not terrible by any stretch!), so play around! With as small a room as you do, having a lazy slope to a knee on a vented alignment is going to be (generally) okay, too.
I grabbed a copy of WinISD, but playing around with it, I've no idea what I'm messing with except for the spl chart. I'll keep playing with it more though. I looked up the linkwitz transform, I think that, with what I'm reading, I'm going to go with a sealed enclosure after all. And if I don't like that I can always modify the console from the back to add a slot or vent. Now I just need to buy at least one driver and a mini dsp, and do a test enclosure.
Have no fear......you WILL get to 20hz with a pair of LRoys in 1cu ft each with an LT circuit and 400wpc in a room your size. The LRoy is an excellent driver choice for your application with plenty of excursion and high motor strength.
So here's the design now. I made it a bit shorter and removed the middle divider to give it a nicer design. I also added a brace up top to hopefully still keep it stable, I'm probably going to have to do more than that though.
These are a few measurements.
Some more measurements inside.
Some mockup braces I did, I really don't know how I'd do the braces honestly.
Bottom support.
This right here shows how I'm going to recess the baffle from the back side to hide the outside edge of the driver. From there I'd round the edges of the the opening from the front side, hopefully resulting in a nice integrated look for the woofer. If I could model this I would, I'm slowly and painfully relearning blender to do exactly that.
And this shows both pieces of plywood together, with that gap being where the driver is mounted.

That's going to rattle and resonate against the frame of the driver. These are STRONG motors capable at high excursion of walking that console across the room empty. I wouldn't overlay the frame.
If you're look is MCM, why not a nice twill retro grill cloth?.....those aluminum dust caps are fragile and very ugly once dented. Also the grill cloth will attenuate any high frequency suspension or motor noise making for an improved performance. Use some chrome or polished stainless steel accents to keep the MCM look

I think (and measurements suggest) he's more in the 2 ft^3 range per bin, but I agree that he won't be hurting for output.
Agree entirely.
Not to spoil the fun. But 2 subdrivers a pre set distance apart. In the middle of a wall, each equal distance, could just wind up sounding bad. However, it could sound awsome..
Intuative sence, or could knock up a pair of test boxes
As i mentioned on this forum before... I wish there was a room box calculater.
Like a 3d cad modeling ting.
That not only, does the driver n innerbox, but also, as best as can be, simms the outer box with ratios for wall materials objects etc.
Could be your chosen idea, would mean minimal eq at seat for a good responce.
