Hello, can you please comment the following full-range configuration which I'm testing. It works good on the paper and in ambient, but I have some concerns about anything could be inappropriate in the design (distortion? intermodulation?). We have in fact:
Two identical drivers in parallel, but one in a closed box, and the other in a separate bass reflex box
AND
Two identical drivers in series, in the same closed box, but each wired with a different electrical cell
Do you identify anything odd (see attached)?

You will see less from each of the parallel drivers, but having two makes up for it and they will together be the same as the single above them.
Is there any issue to run parallel but in different enclosure configuration (one in closed and one in bass reflex)?
no, but you probably should avoid having a high-passed (FR1) and a low-passed (FR2) speaker in the same closed enclosure.
because you will get unpredictable results, with the high-passed FR acting as a filtered passive radiator. but you can always try it, of course!
i do not understand why you would like to use two (identical?) fullrange drivers and drive one through a high pass and one through a low pass. you essentially have a similar output as with just unsing one unfiltered FR driver, but with added cost, interferences ....
also keep in mind that serial crossovers are less predictable than parallel ones.
edit: did you try to simulate this complex crossover network?

Hi , yes simulated too.
two in bass reflex too booming
two in closed not deep bass
This design is so strange because comes from several modification I did
